Volbu kyrkje

The church in Volbu is built of wood and was panelled on the outside in 1865. The church was originally built as a simple long church with a rectangular nave and a slightly narrower choir. Around 1920, the church was extended to the west with a side room and an entrance for the organ gallery and attic. A sacristy was built on the south side of the choir and a turret was added. The main entrance is to the west. In 1856 the church was given larger windows and doors.
