Sund Church

Sund Church is a fan-shaped church from 1997, designed by the architect Peder A. Ristesund. A stave church seems to have existed here as early as 1327. After the demolition of this church, a long church was built in 1674. From 1725 the church was in private ownership for a century and a half. When it became the property of the parish again in 1870, the church was rebuilt in the neo-gothic style. The church burnt down in 1994.
