Våler i Østfold, NO

Våler Church

Våler Church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and narrower, lower choirs. The porch was built in 1867. Then the west wall of the nave was demolished and the gallery was extended to the second floor of the porch. At the same time, a new sacristy was erected to the east of the choir and the window openings of the church were widened. The interior of the church underwent major changes in the 17th and 18th centuries.
