Åros Church

Åros is the location of Åros Church (Åros kirke) which dates from 1903. The chapel is constructed of wood after plans drawn by architect Alfred Christian Dahl. The building has a rectangular nave and 150 seats. Between 1963–1965, major improvements were implemented on the church. It is associated with the Diocese of Tunsberg, with the Church of Norway.[3] [4] [5]

gollark: Depends. There's not a general answer which isn't vaguely stupid somehow.
