Hundvåg Church

The red brick church was built in a rectangular design in 1983 using designs by the architects Knut and Ingeborg Hoem.

[1][2] The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1300, but it was likely built in the mid-1100s.

The first church on Hundvåg island was built at Austbø, about 500 metres (1,600 ft) east of the present site of the church.

In the 19th century, the stones from the old church were used to help restore the nearby Stavanger Cathedral, and at that time, the foundation was leveled and all traces of the old church were gone.

Over 100 years later, a new church was built on the island at a more central location, about 500 metres (1,600 ft) to the west of the old church site.
