Sirudal

Sirudal follows the Sira River through a long valley in the mountains of southern Norway. Farms and settlements lie along the water between steep slopes, while the upper valley reaches into high country. At Tonstad a church is recorded in 1461 and may have been founded earlier. Farther up the valley a chapel was built at Lunde in 1819, providing a nearer place of worship for people living at a distance from the older church.
