History
This church was built in 1864 to replace the old Saint Jetmund Church, located in the nearby village of Åheim. The new location at Slagnes was chosen since it was between the two large villages of Åheim and Fiskåbygd.[3]
gollark: Apparently I'm hatchling-locked for another 21 hours. Annoying!
gollark: It is very convenient though. It's hatched in 10 minutes of hatcherying and autorefreshing.
gollark: I really wonder who thought it was a good idea to dump their low-time (2d10h) egg with plenty of views into the AP.
gollark: If only I actually had the reflexes and low-latency internet connection needed to catch hatchlings...
gollark: They're pretty low time, and by dumping them in every hatchery and running an autorefresher on them, I can hatch them surprisingly fast.
