Eidskog Church and Cemetery

Eidskog Church is located in Norway near the village of Matrand. It is the third church to stand here since Viking times.

 

The present church was built in 1665. The previous church was badly damaged during a war with neighboring Sweden (about nine miles to the east).

 

For centuries, my Norwegian ancestors worshiped in this church.
