Description of the attraction
The wooden church "Garmo" was erected in 1150 on the site of the old church, which was erected during the time of the Vikings. Initially, the church was located in the city of Lom, from where it was later transported to Lillehammer. During the construction of churches of this type in the Middle Ages, a unique technology was used, in which wooden structures were installed vertically.
Over time, "Garmo" lost its church status and in 1822 was bought by Anders Sandwig, who moved it to a new location. The secondary construction of the church took place only in 1920-1921. Today the Garmo Temple is one of the most popular and most visited wooden churches in the whole of Norway.
Vespers is held here every Wednesday at 19.00, where everyone can attend.
