Important info

The restoration of the church’s roof is currently underway. In May, the roof of the choir loft and the new nave will be completed. The restoration of the west side of the nave will then begin. The church’s late 18th-century timber supporting structures are in a very poor state in places, and the 100-year-old cement tile roofing has also had its day. Anyone who is interested can support the building of the roof and contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage. You can get a named stone or stones or a square metre of roof.
