Tylldalen church

Situated along Østerdalsleden
a church with roots in the pilgrim history

The church in Tylldalen was consecrated in 1736 and is said to be the sixth church here in the valley, but the first to stand at the bottom of the valley. The previous churches were located up on Olsberg. The first of them was probably built around 1170.

Work is now underway to have a copy of Olav's stave made, which is kept in the National Museum in Copenhagen - one of the finest Olav productions from the Middle Ages. It originally stood in Tylldalen's second church and is considered to have been made around the 13th century. For more information search "Hellig Olav from Tyldal".

In the summer of 2023, the church is open every day from 10.00-19.00 in the period 18 June - 13 August.
