What to do and see in Ha Municipality, Western Norway: The Best Sights & Landmarks

Varhaug old cemetery is situated on Varhaug Farm in the municipality of Ha. The cemetery dates back to the Middle Ages and is listed as a cultural monument. The first church was probably built here around 1200, and since then several churches have stood by the cemetery. Today’s chapel was erected in 1951. Varhaug chapel is just over 15 m2 and is furnished with 14 traditional wicker chairs. The small chapel is often used for weddings. In 2003 the chapel was used during recording of the music video for the song Evig Pint (Eternal Suffering), from Kaizer’s Orchestra album of the same name.

Naerbo church was completed in 2005, designed by architect Gunnar Fossen. It is decorated by one of Norway's foremost artists, Gunnar Torvund. Christian symbols, such as the fish and lamb, are embedded into the floor itself. At the front of the spacious church stands Torvund's striking altarpiece. Three intense blue slabs, and a lush garden that echoes the ornamentation of Norwegian folk art, rise from a rock dug up from Jaeren. Suspended above are symbols, some Christian, others universal - and in their midst hangs a Christ figure. Light pours in through a window behind and above the towering altarpiece, completing it as though it were a heavenly ladder.

The lighthouse was built in 1912, the last link of a lighthouse network extending up the Jaeren coast. Its last keeper left when it was automated in 1990.
