Old eidfjord church


Old Eidfjord Church (Norwegian: Eidfjord gamle kyrkje) is a parish church in Eidfjord municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Eidfjord. The church is part of the Eidfjord parish in the Hardanger og Voss deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, stone church was built around the year 1309 to serve the people of Eidfjord. The church was the main church for the Eidfjord parish (sokn) until 1981 when the new Eidfjord Church was completed. The old church is now used only for special occasions since it only seats about 100 people. The church is decorated as to look as it did in the 18th century.
