Hol Old Church

The old church of Hol has been rebuilt and altered several times. The sacristy to the east of the choir is the oldest part of the church. Originally, the whole church was a Stave church. The first change was the wooden extension that now forms the narrower western part of the church nave, probably from the 16th century. In 1697 the church was given a new, larger choir and apse, but in 1798-99 these parts of the building, including the part of the nave built in a moat, were demolished.
