This church has a rather fascinating and extraordinary history. It was originally built by Norwegian immigrants in Minnesota in 1854. After 150 years, plans were made to dismantle the church and ship it to Norway. That’s exactly what happened in 1998, after which it was rebuilt here. Today, it is used for weddings, church services, and baptisms.
