In a rapidly changing world, there are places where time seems to stand still. One such place is the ancient Church of Saint Olav, which for over eight and a half centuries has stood tall as a symbol of unyielding faith and rich cultural heritage.

We thank the Lutheran Church of Bø for their support and for kindly providing the church building.
