Sæbø Church

The Sæbø church is a long church from 1884. The first church in Sæbø was probably built around 1300, which makes Sæbø one of the first parishes in Nordhordland to have its own church. In the 1860s it became clear that a new church was needed in Sæbø, as the old one did not meet the requirements laid down by law. The work was carried out by the builder Karl Askeland, who had also designed the church.
