Tveit Church

The Tveit church is a medieval stone church built according to a long plan around the year 1150. It is possible that there was a Stave church on the site before the stone building was constructed. The Romanesque stone church originally had a rectangular shape. The sandstone baptismal font dates from 1250-1350 and the figure of the Virgin is thought to have been made in the 13th century. The Baroque altarpiece is dated to around 1650.
