Ullerål Church

Hønefoss new church is a modern church that stands on the site where an earlier church, designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch and consecrated in 186, burned down on 26 January 2010. The construction of the new church was entrusted to the architectural firm LINK architecture.

The Haug church is a medieval stone church, originally built with a rectangular nave and a narrower choir. In 1712, the choir was demolished and the nave was extended to the east to its full width so that the nave and choir now fit together. In 1878, the church was rebuilt again according to the designs of the architect N.S.D. Eckhoff. Large parts of the western part of the building were demolished. New walls were erected on the remains of the old ones, and the nave was extended to the west.

The oldest parts of Norderhov Church, the tower and the stone walls of the nave, probably date from the 13th century. The church originally had a long plan, but in 1881-82 the chancel was demolished and the church was converted into a cruciform church, with transverse arms and a new brick chancel and apse. The conversion was carried out by the builder Svend Bakke according to the designs of the architect N.S.D. Eckhoff. During the restoration of the church in 1954-57 under the direction of the architect Finn Bryn, the nave and the preserved tower walls were stripped of their plaster and then plastered, so that the masonry became visible. The interior of the church underwent major changes when the church was rebuilt in 1881-82.
