Flakstad Church

Flakstad Church (Norwegian: Flakstad kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Flakstad Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Flakstad. It is the church for the Flakstad parish which is part of the Lofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The red, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1780. The church seats about 300 people. It is the millennium site for Flakstad Municipality. The long, low church building is a cog-jointed construction using timbers clad externally with red-painted wooden paneling, as was usual at the end of the eighteenth century. The small-paned windows have white frames. The roof is covered with tiles and a ridge turret with an onion dome and spire crowns the intersection of the cross arms. History Flakstad Church was first mentioned in existing written sources in 1430, but it was likely built before that time. The church has a limestone baptismal font that dates back to 1250–1300, which suggests that the church may have been built in the second half of the 13th century. The medieval building was a timber-framed cruciform design, but had no tower. The old building was destroyed by a storm around the year 1780. Shortly afterwards, a new church was built in approximately the same site using timber from Russia. The new building seats about 300 people. One of chandeliers in the new church also came from Russia. Several of the items from the old church including two chandeliers and the altartable were taken from the old church and put into the new church. The new church had a tower on the roof about the central part of the building. The tower has a small onion dome on top. 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 1874, a hurricane blew the church tower off. The tower was then temporarily set up next to the church. During renovations in 1938, the tower was put back in place on top of the church.

It is located in the village of Gravdal on the island of Vestvågøya. It is the church for the Buksnes parish which is part of the Lofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The red, wooden, Dragestil church was built in a long church style in 1905 using plans drawn up by the architect Karl Norum. The church seats about 600 people. History The Buksnes church site has been in use for centuries. The first written record referring to the church at Buksnes dates back to 1324, but the church was not built that year. There have been several church buildings on the site over the years. The first church on the site was located about 150 metres (490 ft) east of the present church site in what is now a part of the cemetery. The old medieval church was badly damaged in a storm in 1639, so a new, wooden church was completed on the same site in 1641. This church was described in 1750 as having a large tower and a large fenced cemetery. In 1802, the church was deemed to be in very poor condition after multiple repairs over the years, so it was decided to tear down the old church and rebuild a brand new one on the same site. They reused the materials from the old church that were still in good condition. 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 1882, the church was again heavily damaged in a storm. It is said that the tower and spire were blown off the church by the powerful storm and the spire was blown into the ground and deeply embedded. So afterwards, the church was torn down and a new church was built on the same site in 1885. The new church was a cruciform design and it seated about 640 people. On 26 January 1903 the church was struck by lightning and it burned down. Planning for a new church began soon after. It was decided to build the new church in another part of the churchyard, about 150 metres (490 ft) to the west of the old church site. Drawings for the new building were designed by Karl Norum and were approved on 6 February 1904. Site work and construction soon began and it was consecrated on 22 November 1905 by Bishop Peter W. K. Bøckman. This red, wooden church was built in dragestil ("Dragon style"), a popular design in early 20th century Scandinavia. The old church was torn down after the fire and that area was used to expand the graveyard. Electric power and heat were installed after World War II. The church was renovated in 1965-1967 when some structural defects were corrected. Media gallery See also List of churches in Sør-Hålogaland References External links Vestvågøy parish website

History Gimsøy Church has been around for a long time. The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1432 when Aslak Bolt referred to it in his writings, however the church was likely built during the 14th century. The church was originally located about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) to the northwest in the village of Vinje. In 1706, the old building was torn down and a new church was constructed on the same site that same year. It was a small cruciform log building with a tower over the central part of the roof. In the year 1800, a new church was built about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) to the southeast, along the shore of the island. After the new church was completed the old church was torn down.

Agdenes Church

Agdenes Church (Norwegian: Agdenes kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Orkland Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vernes along the Trondheimsleia in the north part of the municipality, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of Vassbygda. It is the main church for the Agdenes parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1857 using plans drawn up by the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The church seats about 200 people. History According to the Soga om Magnussønene (the saga of the sons of Magnus) in the Heimskringla, the first Agdenes Church was built by King Øystein during the early 12th century (probably before the year 1123). The first church was located at Agdenes, on a peninsula near the confluence of the Trondheimsfjorden and the Stjørnfjorden, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northeast of the present site of the church. The King who built the church also constructed a fortress wall surrounding the area and a harbor along the fjord. During the 13th century, King Håkon Håkonsson had repairs carried out on the church. It is not known when this church was closed, but during the mid-19th century, archaeological remains of the church site were found. The church was likely closed before the reformation in Norway during the 16th century because there were no historical records of it at that time when all churches were surveyed across the country. For many centuries after the old church was closed, the Agdenes area was part of the Ørland Church parish. By the mid-19th century, the people of Agdenes were requesting their own church so that they would not have to cross the Trondheimsfjorden to get to their church. The church was built in 1857 by Christian Heinrich Grosch. The church was supposed to be consecrated on 24 March 1858, but due to a storm and snowy weather, it had to be postponed for three days until 27 March although several of the priests that were supposed to be there were still unable to make it. In 1869, a tower on the west end of the building was constructed and the original small tower that sat on the centre of the roof of the nave was removed. In 1982, the church was expanded to add more seating. Media gallery See also List of churches in Nidaros References

Dverberg kirke

Die evangelisch-lutherische Dverberg kirke (deutsch: Kirche von Dverberg) ist die Kirche des Ortes Dverberg in der Kommune Andøy im Norden der norwegischen Provinz (fylke) Nordland. Die weiße, mit achteckigem Grundriss aus Holz gebaute Kirche stammt aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie gehört zur Kirchengemeinde Dverberg in der Propstei Vesterålen des Bistums Sør-Hålogaland. Geschichte Die heutige Kirche ersetzte die vorherige Langkirche, die in die Jahre gekommen und um 1837 in einem so schlechten Zustand war, so dass sie kaum mehr repariert werden konnte. Zudem wünschte sich die lokale Bevölkerung eine Kirche in achteckiger Form nach dem Vorbild einer 1824 in Hadsel gebauten Oktagon-Kirche. So wurde der Architekt Christian Heinrich Grosch beauftragt, eine solche Kirche für Dverberg zu entwerfen. Die neue Kirche im Empire-Stil nach seinen Plänen aus dem Jahr 1841 wurde dann auf einer kleinen Anhöhe über dem Meer etwa 400 m südwestlich des Standorts der alten Kirche gebaut und am 17. Oktober 1843 eingeweiht. Über den Standort der neuen Kirche gab es zunächst Uneinigkeit, dieser wurde dann über einen Mehrheitsbeschluss im Gemeinderat festgelegt. Die Kirche von Sørreisa wurde ein Jahr später vermutlich nach denselben Plänen erbaut, sie wurde jedoch 1987 bei einem Brand zerstört. Die Kirche von Dverberg ist aus Holz konstruiert, hat eine achteckige Form und im Zentrum auf dem Dach einen kleinen, ebenfalls achteckigen Glockenturm. Der ursprüngliche Entwurf sah gar keinen Turm vor, sondern lediglich ein Pyramidendach. Nach Intervention des damaligen Pfarrers und Vertretern der Kirchengemeinde erhielt die Kirche letztlich dann doch einen Glockenturm, unter anderem weil die Kirche auch als Landmarke zur besseren Orientierung der Fischer auf See dienen sollte. Auch im Innenraum hatte der damalige Pfarrer eine abweichende Meinung zum Architekten. Der ursprüngliche Plan sah zunächst vor, die Kanzel, wie in achteckigen Kirchen damals üblich, über dem Altar zu platzieren. Nach den Wünschen des Pfarrers wurde sie dann aber seitlich rechts angebracht. Die Kirche verfügte beim Bau über 350 Sitzplätze, welche sich teils ebenerdig sowie teils auf zwei Galerien in zweiter Ebene befinden; heute sind es noch 230 Sitzplätze. Im Glockenturm der Kirche hängen zwei Glocken der Glockengießerei Olsen & Søn aus dem Jahr 1904 mit der Inschrift Dverberg kirke und die Orgel der Kirche wurde 1960 vom Orgelbauer Starup & Søn gebaut. Die letzte umfassende Renovierung der Kirche fand 1930 statt und seit 2001 ist die Kirche als Kulturdenkmal geschützt. Das etwa 80 m nordwestlich der Kirche stehende alte Pfarrhaus wurde 1908 erbaut. Auf dem alten Friedhof der Kirche ist Augustinus Sellevold, ein norwegischer Politiker und Dichter, begraben. Er war über viele Jahre der Bürgermeister von Dverberg und eine Zeitlang der Repräsentant der Provinz Nordland im norwegischen Parlament Storting. Vor der Kirche steht ein Gedenkstein für ihn. Unweit daneben steht ein weiterer Bautastein zum Gedenken an die auf See umgekommenen Fischer von Dverberg. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
