context_page_description: Hønefoss Church is a church in the Ringerike municipality in Viken county, Norway. The historic wooden church burned down to the ground on 26 January 2010. The new replacement church was constructed on site and opened during 2017.
context_section_description: The fire department in Ringerike received the notification that Hønefoss Church was on fire just before at 5:00 pm Tuesday 26 January 2010. Shortly afterwards the church burned down, and it soon became clear that the building could not be repaired. The 40-meter (130 ft) church tower collapsed around 6:00 pm.
  In November 2009 it had been discovered that there were twelve faults in the electrical system of the church, and the police investigation concluded that faulty contact in a cable for the electric heating ovens was indeed the cause of the fire.
