Jevnaker Church

Outside the church you will find a bench for pilgrims, a mailbox with a stamp and information, and drinking water from the taps. Milestone and information board.

The church and cemetery from the 12th century, described in Håkon Håkonsen's saga a hundred years later had fallen into disrepair and was replaced in 1834 with a magnificent octagonal timber church. Clad and painted white on the outside, inside with a prominent rafter construction. Jevnaker, with its Glass Works, was an important industry town early on. The wealth of the town is something that is reflected in the church - this can also be seen in other mining and industrial communities in the country. The organ was replaced in 2017. The pulpit altar in today's church is from the time when the church was built, the baptismal font is from approx. 1660 and the baptismal font from 1732. Jevnaker Church is the largest church in Hadeland with room for 700 people.
