Hedared stave church

Dendrochronological methods have later confirmed Ekhoff's suspicion of a late dating and have been able to narrow it down to the very end of the medieval period.

A 1506 letter from the bishop mentioning the construction of a church in the parish is likely to refer to this building.

[1] The interior is tiny (35 square meters) and very plain, and when originally built, the church had only walls and a roof, earth floor and no windows.

It has been modified and added to a couple of times, gaining wooden floor in 1735 and the present windows in 1781.

There is an old altar (kalk) in the church, dating from the 13th century, wooden sculptures of Virgin Mary and Saint Francis and beautiful old paintings.
