Ålhus Church

Ålhus Church (Norwegian: Ålhus kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ålhus on the northern shore of the lake Jølstravatnet. It is one of two churches for the Ålhus parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1795 by the architect Gunder Gregoriussen Støfringshaug. The church seats about 168 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new at that time. The first church at Ålhus in Jølster was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 12th century. In 1660, a new timber-framed church porch with a tower was constructed on the west end of the church. In 1795, most of the old church was torn down (except for the relatively new extension from 1660 which was retained). A new timber-framed long church was rebuilt on the same spot. That relatively new part of the old church that wasn't torn down was re-used as the choir of the new church. The new church was designed by the architect Gunder Gregoriussen Støfringshaug. The architect also incorporated a door from the old church in the new church. The old door dates back to the 12th or 13th century. It is said that the door originally came from a castle that belonged to Audun Hugleiksson. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). 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 at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. The church was restored in 1868 which included installing larger windows. In 1933, a new sacristy was constructed on the east end. The church was renovated and restored again from 1947 to 1951.

Åmli Church

Åmli Church (Norwegian: Åmli kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Åmli Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Åmli. It is one of the churches for the Åmli parish which is part of the Aust-Nedenes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden, neo-Gothic church was built in a long church design in 1909 using plans drawn up by the architect Ludvig Karlsen. The church seats about 450 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1378, however it was possibly founded during the 13th century. The first church was built about 350 metres (1,150 ft) east of the present site of the church. In 1724, the priest Niels Pedersen purchased all the churches in Åmli prestegjeld when the King sold them during the Norwegian church sale to help pay off his war debts. Over the years, the ownership of the church passed between many different people. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). 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 at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. In 1818, the church was purchased by the people of the parish. Shortly afterwards, the parish decided to tear down the centuries-old church and build a new one on the same site. In 1826, the new cruciform church was completed. It was consecrated in 1827 by the Bishop Johan Storm Munch. This church was a wooden building with many windows and its exterior was painted white. Nearly 50 years later, it was decided to replace the church again because it was in bad shape. The foundation was failing and the roof was in dire need of repair. In conjunction with building a new church, it was also decided to move the location of the church about 350 metres (1,150 ft) to the west, much closer to the village of Åmli. Ludvig Karlsen was hired to lead the construction of the new timber-framed church on the new site. The last service in the old church was held on 15 March 1885 and the next day on 16 March 1885, the new church was consecrated by the Bishop Jacob Sverdrup Smitt. Shortly after that, the old church was torn down. That church only lasted a short time because on 24 March 1907, during the Palm Sunday worship service, the church caught fire and burned down. Soon after, plans were made to rebuild a church on the same site. Tellef Mosbergplassen was hired to lead the construction of the new building which was to be based on the plans for the previous building from 1885. A new church was completed in 1909 and it was consecrated on 18 November 1909. In 2009, there was a small expansion in the entry area of the building.

Åmotsdal Church

Åmotsdal Church (Norwegian: Åmotsdal kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Seljord Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Åmotsdal. It is one of the churches for the Seljord parish which is part of the Øvre Telemark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1792 using plans drawn up by the architect Jarand Aasmundson Rønjom. The church seats about 200 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1468, but the church was not new that year. The first church in Åmotsdal was a wooden stave church that may have been built in the 13th century. The old church was built in the old style with open air corridors surrounding the building. Historically, the church was an annex chapel under the main Hjartdal Church and the priest would visit Åmotsdal Church about once every 4 or 5 weeks. In 1723, the church was sold into private ownership during the Norwegian church sale when the King sold the churches to pay off debts from the Great Northern War. The church fell into disrepair and the church was in need of significant repair or replacement. A major rebuilding took place in 1744, but it was only temporary. Around 1791, the old church was torn down and a new timber-framed cruciform building was built on the same site. Jarand Aasmundson Rønjom designed and built the new church. The new building was consecrated in 1792. The church has a pulpit altar which takes up most of the eastern transept, so the church essentially has a T-shape. There have been a few repairs and updates over the years, but the church has maintained the same design and appearance. In 1915, a second pulpit on the floor was installed. In 1959–1960, a church porch was added at the main entrance. Media gallery See also List of churches in Agder og Telemark References
ГЕС Åna-Sira

ГЕС Åna-Sira — гідроелектростанція у південній частині Норвегії, неподалік узбережжя Північного моря на приблизно рівній відстані від Ставангера та Крістіансанна. Знаходячись після ГЕС Тонстад, становить нижній ступінь гідровузла Сіра-Квіна, який використовує ресурс із двох річок, що течуть у південному напрямку паралельно одна одній — Квіни (впадає до затоки Fedafjorden за сім десятків кілометрів на захід від Крістіансанна) та Сіри (має устя західніше від Квіни, за вісім десятків кілометрів на південний схід від Ставангера). Відпрацьована ГЕС Тонстад вода потрапляє у вузьке, але витягнуте по долині Сіри на 25 км озеро Сірдалсватн, яке короткою — до 4 км — протокою з'єднане з наступним за течією річки озером Лундеватн, так само витягнутим у свої долині на кілька десятків кілометрів. Для покращення стоку з першої водойми частину зазначеної протоки поглибили та перетворили на канал, а на виході Сіри з Лундеватн звели невисоку греблю. Це дозволило перетворити обидва озера на спільно регульоване сховище з коливанням рівня між позначками 44 та 48,5 метра НРМ, що при значній площі поверхні забезпечує корисний об'єм у 161 млн м3 (втім, це не найбільший резервуар, котрий працює на ГЕС Åna-Sira — у верхній течії Сіри та Квіни створені такі водойми як Свартеватн та Roskreppfjord). Від греблі Лундеватн через лівобережний масив прокладений дериваційний тунель довжиною 1,5 км з перетином 150 м2, який переходить у три напірні водоводи до машинного залу. Останній обладнаний трьома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 50 МВт, дві з яких ввели в експлуатацію у 1971-му, а ще одну у 1989-му. При напорі у 48 метрів вони забезпечують виробництво 0,6 млрд кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Відпрацьована вода по тунелю довжиною 0,2 км скидається до Сіри нижче від порогів Логсфоссен, за 5 км до устя річки. Видачу продукції провадять по ЛЕП, які працюють під напругою 300 та 66 кВ.

Åram Church

Åram Church (Norwegian: Åram kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vanylven Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Åram in the northern part of the municipality. It is the church for the Åram parish which is part of the Søre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre (since 2002; prior to that time it was part of the Sande parish). The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1927 using plans drawn up by the architect Sivert Storegjerde. The church seats about 300 people. History The Åram area was historically part of the Sande Church parish. In the 1910s, the parish decided to build the new Gursken Church on the island of Gurskøya and divide the parish into two. The new church was built in 1918. This led the people of Åram on the mainland to demand their own church so they didn't have to boat across a fjord to attend church services. After a lot of discussions, the parish was divided into three, and it was decided to build a new church at Åram. The new Åram Church was designed and built by the builder Sivert Storegjerde. It was consecrated on 20 January 1927. In 1964, the building was enlarged by adding bathrooms near the main entrance. On 1 January 2002, the mainland Åram portion of Sande Municipality was transferred to the neighboring Vanylven Municipality. The church was also transferred to the Vanylven parish council at the same time. Media gallery See also List of churches in Møre References

Originally, the stone church was located about 600 metres (2,000 ft) north of the present church site and it was part of the Fana Church parish. The church was called the Church of the Holy Cross (Norwegian: Kirken Hellig Kors) at that time. In the 1600s, the old church was taken out of regular use due to its age and size and the residents of Årstad were sent to the nearby Birkeland Church. The old stone church burned down and was mostly destroyed in the city fire of 1702. Around the mid-1700s, the people of Årstad were a part of the St. Jørgen's Church. The old church sat unused as a ruin for a long time, and the ruins of the foundation were still visible in 1902. The last remains of the foundation were dug out and removed in 1910. After a long time without a church, a new church was built to replace the old church in 1890. The new church was located about 600 metres (2,000 ft) south of the old church site. It was designed by Christian Christie and built on what was the old Haukeland farm, south of Store Lungegårdsvannet.

History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1337, but the church was not built that year. The first church in Ås was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 13th century. According to an inscription on a wooden plate on the back of the altarpiece, the church must have been closed down and deserted from around 1570 until around 1665. Around 1665, the old church was torn down and a new church was built on the same site. The local parish priest Knud Sevaldsen Bang oversaw the construction of the new wooden long church. The new building was completed around the year 1670. During the 1700s, the church was too small, so two new transept wings were built to the north and south of the old nave, creating a cruciform floor plan. The church quickly fell into disrepair and during the late 1780s, the church was torn down. In 1788–1789, a new church was built on the same site. This church was a wooden cruciform design with a central tower on the roof over the nave. This new building was consecrated on 9 September 1789. The building was thoroughly restored in the 1860s. On 15 July 1915, the church was struck by lightning and it burned down. Fortunately, some of the interior furnishings were able to be saved from the fire. After the site was cleared, work began on another replacement church. Henry Bucher was hired to design the new neo-Romanesque cruciform stone church. This building was consecrated on 9 March 1921. The church has a rather characteristic, compact shape (with relatively short cruciform arms) and a large imposing central tower. Media gallery See also List of churches in Hamar References

The walls are about 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in) thick. The Barony Rosendal was established in 1678 and the church was given as part of the barony. In 1869, the church underwent a major renovation. The small, old church porch was torn down and replaced with a much larger wooden church porch and bell tower on the west end of the stone church. Also during this project the ceilings inside the church were replaced. The church was owned by the Barony from 1678 until 1901 when it was sold to the parish. After the parish gained ownership of the church, it was renovated and it received new floors. The church was again renovated in the 1950s, led by the architect Kristian Bjerknes.
