Stårheim Church

Stårheim Church is a wooden church completed in 1864. The church was built according to the plans of the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The first church in Stårheim, mentioned in 1338, probably dates from the first part of the 12th century. It was probably a stave church that stood around 1600. The stave church was replaced by a simple wooden church, which was later replaced by the present church.

Vereide Church

The Vereide church is a Romanesque whitewashed stone church. The tower with a porch was built in 1879. The choir and sacristy were built in 1931. At that time, the flat ceiling of the nave was also replaced by the barrel-vaulted ceiling. The windows, which were originally no more than half their present height, were enlarged in 1861. Only the baptismal font, rediscovered in 1904, remains from the medieval inventory. The church was extensively restored in 1631 and the interior was coloured in 1962 by the curator Bjørn Kaland.

Heggjabygda Church
