Wooden Church "Garmo" was built in 1150 on the site of the old Church, which was built during the Viking age. Originally the Church was in the town of Lom, where later was moved to Lillehammer. In the construction of churches of this type in the middle ages used a unique technology in which a wooden structure was placed vertically.

Over time "Garmo" has lost its Church status and in 1822 was purchased by Anders Sandvig, who moved it to its new position. The secondary construction of the Church took place in 1920-1921 Today, the Church is "Garmo" is one of the most popular and most visited stave churches in Norway.

Every Wednesday at 19.00 Vespers is held here, which may be present to attend.
