History

The old Hemne Church of Saint Margrethae burned down on the night of the 14th and 15 December 1815, and it was quickly replaced with the present church building. Construction on the wooden, white, octagonal building began in March 1816 and was completed and consecrated on 29 June 1817. The church was built by a man called Jakob Kirkebygger ("Jacob the church builder"). The present church sits on the same site as the old church, with a graveyard surrounding the church.[3]

gollark: I would do that, but use 100GbE and also some compute GPUs.
gollark: Ah, apparently you can connect SATA drives to SAS controllers, but not the other way round.
gollark: I'm pretty sure SATA and SAS are different things, but there's a way to use SATA disks with SAS devices or something?
