Søndre Enningdalen kirke
The oldest known church in Enningdalen was a stave church situated at Kirkebøen at the North end of Kirkevannet a couple of kilometres from the Swedish border. The stave church decayed during the 1600s and was replaced by a wooden church at the same spot, which was demolished in 1795, however, the old cemetery was maintained.
Mads Berg, who had lived in Enningdalen and became a song book writer, took the initiative in building a new church on the same location in 1942. It took 10 years before he got the building permit, and the corner stone was placed in 1953. The church was finished in 1956, and the architect was Dag Borge.
The church has seats for 100 people, and the altarpiece displays a scene from “Jesus and the disciples at Mount Tabor” painted by Anna Vigen (1869–1954). Both the pulpit and the baptismal font are made of wood, and they are from 1956. The church has one church bell and an electronic organ.
