Hove Steinkyrkje

Dating back to the Middle Ages, this parish church is a prime example of Roman architecture. It was built in 1170, and Peter Andreas Blix, who restored it in the late 1800s, is buried below the nave. The church has a capacity of only 35 people.

Skredstova

This miniature museum is dedicated to the landslide (or skred) that devastated Vik in 1811. It killed 45 people, a large percentage of the population at the time. Although it's tiny, the museum in a one-room log cabin is surprisingly informative.
