Søm Church

The church in Søm, built in 2004, is a brick "working church". The church was built with the axis and promenade as the basic idea, and is the result of teamwork between architects Arild Lauland and Arne Åmland and artist Kjell Nupen. As a 'working church', the church building contains, in addition to the church hall, several other rooms and spaces for work, activities and gatherings.
