Tønjum Church
Tønjum church is a wooden church dating from 1832. It has an intermediate form between a cross church and a long church. The old church, which was a 13th-century stave church, was demolished in 1823. The reason why it took nine years between the loss of the old church and the construction of the new one is that the parish priest thought that a new church had to be built in the middle of the village. Although almost everyone disagreed with him, he stuck to his position until his death in 1831.
