Torsnes Church

History

Torsnes was created by a split from Borge on 1 January 1910. At that time Torsnes had a population of 1,538. On 1 January 1964, Gansrød and Ulfeng, with 30 inhabitants, were incorporated into Fredrikstad while the rest of Torsnes, with 1,274 inhabitants, was reunited with Borge. On 1 January 1994, Borge was incorporated into Fredrikstad.

Etymology

The Old Norse form of the name was Þórsnes, meaning " Thor's headland". The neighbouring island has the name Ullerøy, from the name of the god Ullr. An old farm in the parish, close to the church site, has the name Tose or Thorsø. This is derived from Old Norse Þórshof, a compound of Þórr (Thor) and hof, meaning "Thor's temple".

gollark: Sounds like something is probably trying to be *clever* somewhere.
gollark: What do you mean "returned to"?
gollark: Or apache. That can do it too, apparently. Most HTTP servers probably can.
gollark: I don't think it would technically need to do a *full* reverse proxy job, since all it needs to do is look at the Host header (or SNI on HTTPS requests, although that might go away at some point?) and route accordingly, but still.
gollark: I suppose you could install caddy instead of nginx too, but I don't like it.
