History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1270, but it was not new that year. The medieval stave church stood at Høle until 1616 when it was torn down. A new timber-framed church was constructed on the same site soon afterwards. [3] [4]

In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian : valgkirke). [5] Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year. [5] [6]

In 1860, a new church was constructed slightly to the northeast of the old church. A portion of the old stone wall that surrounded the cemetery was used as part of the foundation of the new church. After the new church was consecrated on 24 October 1860, the old church was torn down. Many of the materials from the old church were sold at auction. [3] [4]
