Tangen Church

The Tangen Church was built from 1850 to 1854 on a former wooden church from the end of the 17th century. Already in 1838 the restoration of the three churches in the town was considered, but although plans for the restoration of the churches in Bragernes and Strømsø were quickly approved, the reconstruction of the church in Tangen did not begin until 1850 because it was considered too expensive.
