Volda Church

The Volda church is a stone church consecrated in 1932. In the 1400s there was a stave church here. It was demolished in 1858 and replaced by a new wooden church in the shape of a cross, one of the largest wooden churches in the country. It burned down the night before April 7, 1929. None of the partly very old furniture was saved. The present church has a choir with a fresco by Hugo Mohr. This fresco, which was at the time the largest fresco work in Norway, was completed in 1932.
