Hønefoss Church

A quick history roundup of Hønefoss church
Hønefoss church is a church on Sørsiden in Hønefoss city in Ringerike municipality. The church was wedged on December 10, 2017.

The area originally sued to Norderhov Kirke, but after Hønefoss had a city status in 1852, it worked for its own church. It was designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch and married in 1862. The church burned down to the ground on January 26, 2010.

After the fire the fire was cleared, and where the church had stood there was an altar of burned logs from the burned church. Planning of a new church took place, and an architectural competition was held in 2013. This was won by LINK architecture with the project "Sky".
