Jevnaker church

Church and burial ground from the 12th century, described in Håkon Håkonsen's saga a hundred years later. The old stone church 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 industrial site early on, and the church shows something of the same power that can also be seen in other mining and industrial communities. New organ 2017. The pulpit altar in today's church is from the time the church was built, the baptismal font is from approx. 1660 and the baptismal font from 1732. Jevnaker church is the largest in Hadeland with room for 700 people.

Cemetery surrounded by a beautiful stone wall, partly of recent date.

The parsonage just east of the church with several interesting buildings: farmhouse, side building (Boys' room) and carriage shed.

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.

Below the church you will find a "landscape frame" used to frame the beautiful agricultural landscape under the auspices of Jevnaker Bondelag.
