Davik Church

The Davik church is a long wooden church built in 1886. The church was built according to the plans of the architect Georg Andreas Bull. The first church that stood there was probably a Stave church from the 13th century. The next building, erected in 1655, was a long wooden church. This in turn was replaced by a cross church in 1750, which was finally replaced by the present church because it was too small.
