The church was originally built in Fortun by the Sognefjord in 1150 and moved here in 1883. In 1992 the church burned down completely and was then rebuilt true to the original.

Not only did this church burn down...it was set on fire by Varg Vikernes (Burzum and Mayhem) back then in contempt for Christianity. It was the first of dozens of church fires in Norway linked to Norwegian black metal. No matter how you feel about these deeds today, a visit to this historic place is a must for anyone interested in music history.
