History

A chapel was built in Straumsnes in 1927 to serve the people living around the Rombaken fjord. In 2005, a new chapel was built in Hergot, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the northeast, to replace the old chapel in Straumsnes. The new chapel is located at the site of the local cemetery.

gollark: I also accidentally configured it to ping every 5 seconds instead of 30 in the copy I sent ubq, which is way too high, oops.
