Sandeid Church

It is the church for the Sandeid parish which is part of the Haugaland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.

The medieval stave church was located at Vestbø, along the harbor of today's village of Sandeid.

[3] In 1904, a new church building was constructed 400 metres (1,300 ft) to the northwest on a new plot of land that was part of the same farm.

As workers tore down the church, a number of coins were found under the floor that dated back as far as the 1200s.

[3][4][5] In the early hours of 5 April 2017 the church's steeple was struck by lightning and caught fire, causing significant damage to the structure before the fire was put out by firefighters.
