Timmervik Church

The church is a living and holy room for tranquillity, prayer and worship At the beginning of the 20th century many chapels were built in areas where people had a long way to their parish church. The people in Timmervik had 10 km to the parish church in Gestad so a building committee was established in 1926. The church was built mostly through voluntarily fund-raising, and has since the inauguration in 1927 been preserved in its original design. The white-washed brick church is built in north-south direction and has a traditional design with nave, tower and choir. Worth seeing inside Instead of a retable there is a choir window with a lead glass painting which is dominated by a figure of Christ and the Holy Spirit. On the lower part of the pulpit there is a painting of the stone tablets. The christening font is carved in oak and contemporary with the Church.

The churchyard

The "old churchyard" was established in 1937 and the separate "new cemetery" with memorial park in 1996.
