Description
Hestad Kapell
Hestad
Kapell, locally also called Øyrakyrkja, is situated on the narrow
land tongue that separates Hestadfjord from Viksdalsvatnet in
Gaular municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county. The little
long-church was built in 1805, but parts of the previous church, a
stave church dating back to medieval times, were used when the
chapel was set up. The earliest mentioning of Hestad Kapell is
1327, then called "Capella de herstadum".
The
chapel has since 1917 been owned by the Ancient Monuments Society,
and it works mainly as a museum church. A few regular church
services are held every year and it is possible to get married
there.
