Ski Church

Ski Church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and a lower, narrower rectangular chancel. The bell tower in front of the west entrance, built in 1860, replaced an old wooden porch. The base of the tower is made of stone, while the upper part of the tower is made of wood. The sacristy to the east was built in 1934 according to the plans of architect Ole Stein. As part of the extensive reconstruction of the church by Nicolay Nicolaysen in 1860, the portals and windows of the church were demolished and modified or rebuilt. The interior was also considerably modified in 1860, with new galleries and pews. The interior was then restored in 1935 under the direction of the architect Ole Stein.
