Kroer Church is built in 1925 of wood and can accommodate 120 people. It was designed by Norwegian architect Harald Sund (1876–1940). [3]
There were three previous churches in Kroer before the present one was built. The earlier ones dated from 1340, 1550, and 1852.[4] The 1852 church was destroyed in a fire in July 1923.[5]
