History

View of the church

In the old days, the road to Voss Church was long and tiring for the people of the Raundalen valley. In the early 1800s, the people began discussing the possibility of getting their own church. Eventually, a cemetery was built in the valley with the hope that some day a church would be built there as well. Around 1920, approval was given to build the church. The parish hired Haldor Børve to design the building and Johannes Dugstad and Torstein Øvsthus were hired to lead the construction. The building was designed in the National Romantic style with a modern stave church inspiration. The new church was consecrated in August 1921. [3] [4] [5]
