Strand Church (Rogaland)

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

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1874 using designs by the architect Fritz von der Lippe.

In 1626, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed building on roughly the same location.

[4] 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.

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 in Eidsvoll later that year.
