History
The first church at Bø was probably built around 1340. Over the centuries, there have been several different church buildings. The fifth church building was completed in 1734, a little east of where the present church is located. That church lasted for almost 100 years, and in 1824 the present (sixth) church was built. It was consecrated on 8 August 1824 by the Bishop Mathias Bonsach Krogh.[2]
