Os Church

The church of Os is a long church dating from 1870. The first mentioned church in Os, probably a stave church, is from the 14th century. This church was replaced by a wooden church built in 1624. As the population of the parish had increased considerably in the 19th century, a new church law was introduced in 1851, which required that each church building should accommodate at least 30% of the parish's inhabitants. As a result, instead of renovating the old church, it was decided to build a completely new church.
