History

There has been a church at Krossen since at least the year 1307, but there is reason to believe that the stave church present then was already old. There have been several churches on this site since that time, and the present church was completed in 1825. The church was consecrated on 4 September 1825 by the Bishop Johan Storm Munch.[3]

gollark: Idea: swap pins every day at random.
gollark: Does anyone care if I delete all the "palaiologos pinned this" messages? They're spammy.
