Tyssedal Church


Tyssedal Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Tyssedal. It is the church for the Tyssedal parish which is part of the Hardanger og Voss prosti in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, brick church was built in a modern-looking rectangular style in 1965 using designs by the architect Axel Fronth. The church seats about 190 people.
Starting in 1928, the people of Tyssedal began petitioning the government for their own church. It wasn't until the 1960s when their wish came true. A new church, including a full basement which has bathrooms and meeting rooms, was completed in 1965. The church was consecrated on 4 April 1965 by the Bishop Per Juvkam.
