History

The church was built around 12th century and celebrated it 800-year anniversary in 1987. The building material is stone and brick. The church contains 200 seats. During the Middle Ages, this was the parish church for Slidre as well as the deanery for Valdres.[2] [3]

The altarpiece dates to 1665 and was painted by Ola Hermundsson Berge (1768-1825) in 1797. Berge performed significant painting in the church between 1797–98. The pulpit was carved by Hans Jonassen Felde in 1797. An organ was built by German born organ builder Albert Hollenbach (1850-1904) in 1891. It was replaced in 1983 by a new mechanical organ from Norsk Orgel- og Harmoniumfabrikk of Snertingdal in Gjøvik. [4] [5]
