Tydal's first church

There is little we know about the first church in Tydal. There are no written sources, and few objects can be traced back to the original church with certainty. There are two carved ornaments in wood, which today is kept in Tydal Church, that can be traced back to the church. The ornaments are made in a style that experts have dated to the transitional period between the Romanesque and Gothic style - that is, around the year 1200. This is why we believe the church was built at this time, most likely as a stave church.

Today, the site of the old church at Kirkvollen pilgrim farm is between the garage and the barn, and you are welcome to visit.
