Eivindvik church

The first church was probably located on the same site as the old main town in Eivindvik. Church services are also said to have been held outside at the crosses. The church was privately owned from the 1720s until 1862, when the widow of Reverend Dahl sold it back to the parish. On June 15, 1863, the church was sold at auction and the furnishings were scattered around the parish. Prost Dahl was a keen advocate for a new church building, which was built in 1863 after his death. The church was designed by architect Georg Anreas Bull, and was rebuilt by Johan Lindstøm in 1938. The cubist baptismal font is said to be from the 11th century. From 1600 to 1905, the baptismal font stood next to the steeple cross at the churchyard gate. Legend has it that the parishioners wrenched the baptismal font out of the hands of the priests when they were to be baptized. King Olav Haraldson therefore had a solid baptismal font built from the same stone as the two crosses.

The church is part of the digital cultural walk in Eivindvik.
