Old church ruins at Røst
A stone church was consecrated in Røst by Bishop Kierschow in 1839. It was erected in accordance with architect Lindsow's standard design for country churches, but is, as far as we know, the only "standardised" church to be built of stone. In this way, one hoped to protect it against harmful storms. The church was in use until the year 1900, when it was considered too small, and demolished by royal decree the following year.
