History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322. The original building was likely a stave church and it was located at the Hyllestad farm, about 600 metres (0.37 mi) northeast of the present location at the foot of the mountain Kyrkjefjellet ("the church mountain"). The exact date of the original construction is not known, but the baptismal font in the church is dated from the 12th century, so it is possible the church was built at that time. In 1681, the old building was torn down and replaced by a timber-framed building. The new church had a nave that measured 12 by 9 metres (39 ft × 30 ft) and a choir that measured 4.5 by 6 metres (15 ft × 20 ft). The church had a tower attached as well. In 1720, the church received a new tower spire.[3][4]

By the mid- to late-1800s, the space at the old church site and cemetery was too small and could not be exanded. In 1880, a new church site was chosen at Myklebust, a little to the south of the old church site (where the present village of Hyllestad is located). The old church was torn down and the cemetery and stone fence that encircled the yard were left in place, but it was no longer used.[3][4]

The new Hyllestad Church is a wooden, basilica church. The building was consecrated on 23 November 1880.[5][6]
