History

At Granavollen one finds the Søsterkirkene (or sister churches), two stone churches from the middle ages. They are constructed side by side. The smallest and oldest is the Mariakirke, a single nave church built in the Romanesque style, but the neighboring Nikolaikirke is a three-naved basilica, probably inspired by the construction of the Halvardskirke in Oslo. Local folklore tells that the churches were built by two sisters. These two detested each other so much they could not share the same church. A more likely explanation is that the Mariakirke was built for the local congregation, while the Nikolaikirke was the head church for Hadeland.
