Sæle Church

The Sæle Church is a wooden church built in 1903. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Hans Jacob Sparre. Until the construction of the new church, the old stone church from around 1200 on Kvamsøy was the parish church. It was old, small and inaccessible, so many members of the parish worked on the construction of a new church, either on Sæle or on Lindane.
