Kvås Church (
Lister og Mandal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1836 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 300 people.[1][2]
History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the late 1600s, but the church was described as "old" at that time. The old timber-framed building was in constant need of repairs, which were carried out repeatedly. In 1785, a rock wall was constructed around the church cemetery which encircled the church building. In 1834, the old church building was torn down and over the next two years, a new church building was constructed on the same site.[3]
