Eidsfoss Church

The Eidsfoss ironworks company decided to build a church in the village of Eidsfoss at the turn of the 20th century. The church paid for most of the cost of the building and it was on donated land. Holger Sinding-Larsen designed the church and Andreas A. Kolstad was hired as the lead builder for the project. Construction began in 1903, but unfortunately on 30 November 1903, the unfinished church building caught fire and burned down. After the rubble was cleared, the church was rebuilt on the same site. The new church was completed and consecrated on 20 July 1904 by the Bishop Anton Christian Bang. The timber-framed church is often referred to as a cruciform church, and from the outside it may look like one. However, the pews are arranged as in a long church. The cross arms are actually sacristies with galleries above, rather that part of the main nave, so it is more like a long church than a cruciform church. In 1958, the ironworks company sold gave the church to the parish.^[3][4]
