Herefoss Church

Herefoss Church (Norwegian: Herefoss kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Birkenes Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Herefoss, at the northern end of the Herefossfjorden, just west of the Norwegian National Road 41. It is the church for the Herefoss parish which is part of the Vest-Nedenes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a octagonal design in 1865 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 200 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1487, but the church was likely founded in the 13th century. The oldest church on this site was a stave church that was probably the one that was standing in 1487. In the 1500s or 1600s, that old church was torn down and replaced with a long church made out of rough timber. Both of these churches stood about 30 metres (98 ft) north of the present church, very close to the shore of the Herefossfjorden. In 1723, the church was sold into private ownership by the King to help pay off his war debts. 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 1827, the parish purchased the building from a private owner. Due to its low location along the shoreline, the church often worried about flooding along the Herefossfjorden. In 1860, during a big flood, water inundated the church causing some damage so it was decided to replace the church and move it to higher ground. In 1865, a new church was built about 30 metres (98 ft) south of the old church. The new church was built in an octagonal design and it was consecrated on 11 October 1865 by the Bishop Jacob von der Lippe. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down. Later, about 1,200 cubic metres (42,000 cu ft) of dirt was brought in to raise the land to prevent flooding and protect the church and cemetery.

Herre Church

Herre Church (Norwegian: Herre kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bamble Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Herre. It is one of the churches for the Bamble og Herre parish which is part of the Bamble prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1905 using plans drawn up by the architect Haldor Larsen Børve. The church seats about 275 people. History In the latter half of the 19th century, local residents of Herre began working towards getting an annex chapel built in their village, rather than having to travel to Bamble Church. After a factory opened and attracted more residents to Herre, the desire for a local chapel became possible. The factory provided land for a cemetery and chapel. The cemetery was consecrated on 2 January 1898. Work next moved to the construction of the new chapel building. The chapel was designed by Haldor Larsen Børve and O. Thovsen was the lead builder with Tollef Veholt being responsible for the masonry work. The new chapel (called Herre Chapel at that time) was consecrated on 1 November 1905. The new building was a wooden long church that was designed using the inspiration of a medieval stave church. The building measures 23.8 by 13 metres (78 ft × 43 ft) and the total cost for its construction was 23,709.15 kr. The financing of the costs were as follows: 16,109.15 kr was given as a gift from the factory, 1,200 kr as a gift from a parishioner, and 3,000 kr as an interest-free loan from the Bamble savings bank. An additional 3,400 kr was collected from the people of the village. Initially, the building was titled as a "chapel", but in 1997, the church was upgraded to the status of a parish church and re-titled Herre Church.

Hersvik Church

Hersvik Church (Norwegian: Hersvik kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Solund Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hersvikbygda, on the northern part of the island of Sula. It is one of the three churches for the Solund parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1891 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 168 people. History In 1888, the prestegjeld (parish) of Solund was established, when it was separated from the large parish of Gulen Municipality. At that time, the new parish did not have enough churches for the number of people in the parish, so they began to plan for a new church in the northern part of the municipality. The church was designed by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan, and it was modeled after the nearby Fedje Church, located to the south of Solund. The church was to be a wooden long church with a 10.4-by-7.8-metre (34 ft × 26 ft) nave and a 4.4-by-4.4-metre (14 ft × 14 ft) choir. The parish hired Peter Gabrielsen as the lead builder for the church. Construction began in the spring of 1891 and it lasted for several months. The new church was consecrated on 10 November 1891 by Bishop Fredrik Waldemar Hvoslef. The new church cost about 8500 kr. In 1915, the church received its first wood stove (it had no heat source before that time). In 1962, electric lighting and heat were installed in the church. From its consecration in 1891 until 1 January 2000, the church was the main church for the Hersvik parish. On 1 January 2000, the three parishes in the municipality of Solund were merged into one large parish with three churches. See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
ГЕС-ГАЕС Herva

ГЕС-ГАЕС Herva – гідроелектростанція на півдні Норвегії за сто тридцять кілометрів на південний схід від Алесунну. Знаходячись перед ГЕС Скаген, становить верхній ступінь гідровузла у сточищі річки Fortunvassdraget, яка тече до Lustrafjorden – північно-східного відгалуження найбільшого в країні Согне-фіорду. Найвіддаленішим пунктом водозбірної системи станції є водосховище Illvatnet, створене на річці Illvaselvi, лівій притоці Nordstedola, ктора в свою чергу є правою притокою Fortunvassdraget. Ця водойма має корисний об’єм 49,4 млн м3 та припустиме коливання поверхні між позначками 1367 та 1382 метра НРМ, що відбувається за рахунок здреновування нижче від природного рівня. Звідси прокладено тунель довжиною біля 3 км, який скидає накопичений ресурс до верхньої течії Fortunvassdraget. Остання майже одразу проходить через мале сховище Middalsvatnet (корисний об’єм 1 млн м3, рівень коливається між 1283 та 1290 метрів НРМ), а вище по течії на ній знаходяться резервуари Breiddalsvatnet (16,4 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1374 та 1393 метра НРМ) та Svartdalsvatnet (10,6 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1395,7 та 1407,7 метра НРМ). Із Middalsvatnet бере початок другий дериваційний тунель довжиною біля 9 км, який прямує по лівобережжю Fortunvassdraget і сполучений зі створеними на її притоках Namnlauselvi та Vetledola сховищами Namnlausvatnet (3,3 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1350 та 1365 метра НРМ) та Øvre Grønevatnet (6,9 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1312 та 1332 метра НРМ). У підсумку він завершується в найбільшому водосховищі системи Storevatnet, котре створене на черговій лівій притоці Fortunvassdraget річці Grandfasta та має корисний об’єм 109 млн м3, чому відповідає коливання рівня між 1244 та 1270 метрів НРМ. Із Storevatnet починається третій дериваційний тунель довжиною біля 6,5 км, який на своєму шляху сполучений з водозаборами на Skuggevassgrovi та Dyrhaugsvasselvi (ліві притоки Grandfasta). Незадовго до завершення він приймає бічний тунель довжиною біля 1,5 км, котрий подає воду із водосховища Øvre Hervavatnet (7,7 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1287,4 та 1302,4 метра НРМ). Воно створене на Hervasselvi (ще одна ліва притока Grandfasta), на якій вище по течії знаходиться резервуар Prestesteinsvatnet (45,7 млн м3, коливання рівня між 1333 та 1355,5 метра НРМ). Відпрацьована станцією вода надходить до розташованого неподалік від машинного залу водосховища Skålavatnet, яке лежить на згадуваній вище Grandfasta. Ця водойма, від якої живиться наступна станція каскаду, має корисний об’єм 21,6 млн м3 та припустиме коливання рівня між позначками 988 та 1013 метрів НРМ. Основне обладнання станції становить одна оборотна турбіна типу Френсіс потужністю 33 МВт, яка використовує напір у 257 метрів та забезпечує виробництво 108 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. В періоди високої водності з її допомогою ресурс закачується із Skålavatnet до Storevatnet, що дозволяє в майбутньому використати його на обох станціях гідровузла. Примітки
Herøya Church

Herøya Church (Norwegian: Herøya kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Porsgrunn Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located on Herøya in the town of Porsgrunn. It is one of the churches for the Eidanger parish which is part of the Skien prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Hessdalen Church

Hessdalen Church (Norwegian: Hessdalen kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Holtålen Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hessdalen. It is the church for the Hessdalen parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1940 using plans drawn up by the architect John Egil Tverdahl. The church seats about 186 people. History Hessdalen is a fairly remote mountain valley with only one road connecting the valley to the rest of the municipality. The Hessdalen valley got its own cemetery in 1905, and the parish priest was required to meet twice a year at the new cemetery to perform funerals. Soon after, the people of the valley began requesting a chapel to go along with the new cemetery. During the 1930s, planning began for a new chapel. Around 1940 the chapel was constructed, but it was not fully finished until 1942, likely due to the effects of World War II. The architect of the new building was John Egil Tverdahl and Arne S. Gynnild was the lead builder. It was not until 3 July 1949 that the new chapel was formally consecrated. Even after the consecration, there was still some remaining work that needed to be finished to complete the new building. The chapel builders had limited financial resources, but they obtained the pulpit from the old Ålen Church, which had been stored on the Støvne farm after the church had been torn down. The owner had bought it at auction when the church was torn down. The altarpiece is from the 17th century and it too was from the old stave church in Ålen.

Hestad Chapel

Hestad Chapel (Norwegian: Hestad kapell) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hestad, on a small peninsula jutting into the Hestadfjorden, a lake that is part of the river Gaula. Because of its location on a small "island"-like peninsula, the church is also known as the Øyrakyrkja ("island church"). It is one of the four churches for the Gaular 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 1805 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 80 people. History The chapel has a history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Legend has it that there was a church at Øyra the 12th century, but in written sources it is first mentioned in accounts from 1327. In an overview of the local church's seven properties from ca. 1350, Øyra church is mentioned as one of the five churches in Gaular. This church in Hestad was a small wooden stave church. After the Black Death the church was no longer regularly used. Historical records show that the church was again in regular use by the late 16th century. Before the road on the south side of the lake was opened in 1884, the lake was the main route of transportation through the Gaula river valley. The chapel was located in the middle of the lake, making it the perfect location. In the summer, people went boat through the strait by the chapel and in winter they sled across the lake. In 1805, the old chapel was demolished and a new one was built on the same site partly of material from the old chapel. The new church building was constructed by volunteer labor from the nearby residents. The small, wooden chapel seats about 80 people and the nave measures about 9 by 6.5 metres (30 ft × 21 ft) and the choir measures about 4 by 5.5 metres (13 ft × 18 ft). The roof and tower were destroyed by a strong storm in 1864. Repairs and the construction of a new tower took place soon after. The church bell is from the 17th century. The altarpiece is from 1805. The chapel is only used for special worship as well as for funerals and weddings. The church was owned by a number of local farmers until 1917 when it was purchased by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments (Fortidsminneforeningen). The chapel and surrounding area are protected due to historical and natural qualities. In 1940, a bridge was built over the straits and in 1970 a road was built on the north shore of the Hestad Fjord (which is actually a lake). Norwegian county roads FV610P and FV421 pass right in front of the chapel. See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Hillestad Church

History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1390, but the church was not built that year. The first church at Hillestad was likely a wooden stave church that was possibly built during the 13th-century. There is Viking Age burial that was found in the church graveyard, so it has been used for a long time. The first church was dedicated to Saint Margareta. Over the centuries, the church fell into disrepair. In 1724, the Count of Jarlsberg (who owned the church) decided to replace the church. The old church was torn down in May 1724 and a new church was built on the same site. The new wooden church building was designed as a long church. It had a rectangular nave with a chancel that is the same width as the nave. There is a smaller sacristy off the east end of the chancel. On the west end of the nave, there is a church porch with a large bell tower above it. The new church was consecrated on 29 September 1724. In 1911, the church underwent a renovation which included new, larger windows. See also List of churches in Tunsberg References

Hisøy Church

Hisøy Church (Norwegian: Hisøy kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Arendal Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of His on the island of Hisøya. It is one of the churches for the Hisøy parish which is part of the Arendal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden, empire style church was built in a cruciform design in 1849 using plans drawn up by the architect Gustav Adolph Lammers. The church seats about 500 people. From 1881 until 1992 it was the main church for Hisøy Municipality. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1320, but the church was likely built during the 13th century. The church was part of the Øyestad Church parish, and this church was likely an annex chapel. In 1620, Hisøy church is not mentioned in the diocese's land register, so the church likely was closed down at that point. With an increasing population in the 19th century, the difficult road from the island of Hisøy to the mainland Øyestad Church led the island's residents to demand their own church. In 1847, the area of Hisøy was made to be a separate parish from Øyestad, and they immediately set in motion plans to build a church. Gustav Adolph Lammers was hired to design the church. Originally the church was to have two towers, but that didn't work out and it ended up with only one tower. The new church building was consecrated on 11 November 1849. In 1892, the small original tower on the church was torn down and rebuilt into a larger, more structurally sound tower. In 1896, the balcony seating in the church was rebuilt. Parish priests Hisøy Church has had many different parish priests over its history. The first full-time priest assigned to his parish was not until 1872. The priests are listed below.
