Seegård Church
Seegård church was designed by Arne Thorsrud and inaugurated in 1997. The actual church can seat 260 people. In addition, there is special room for the congregation and small rooms for use by organisations for different events. The altar piece was made by Håkon Gullvåg.
The old church, which occupied the same site, burnt down in 1994. The old interior was destroyed in the fire, but the spire fell some distance away when the tower collapsed, and was therefore preserved. The old spire was put up in the new church. The building year of 1997 for the new church has been added to the weather wane alongside 1781, which was the building year for the old church.
