The church of Starm of Garmo, part of the Maihaugen Open Air Museum, dates from about 1021. The present church was probably built around 1200, then enlarged with notably a bell tower (1690) and cross arms in the roof (1730).
On the Maihaugen is the only preserved medieval log house in Norway, called Fiskerkapellet (Fishing chapel). According to an inscription on one of the logs, the chapel was consecrated and founded in 1459. After the Reformation, the chapel was used as a warehouse for the rectory in Fåberg before it was bought in 1897 by Anders Sandvig.
