History

The first church in Flora was built in 1936. It is a small long church with a hipped roof over the nave. There is a small onion dome on the roof above the nave. The altarpiece has a crucifixion picture painted by Anton Kjeldstad in 1936. The pulpit was made by John Renå and the baptismal font by Olav Engen. Two bells in the tower were cast by Olsen & Søn in 1936, and the organ was built by Brødrene Torkildsen in 1959.[3][4]
