History
The first recorded church in Skodje was built around 1424. That church probably existed until 1750 when it was in such poor condition that it was torn down and a new church built. The new church was made of wood and it lasted until 1860 when it too was torn down, and a new, larger church was built. The 1860 church is still in use today.
