Fluberg Church (Fluberg Kirke) is the oldest existing church in Søndre Land Municipality. The present church replaced a previous stave church on the same site. This was the main church for both Nordre Land and Søndre Land until 1866. The present church was built of timber in 1703. The pulpit from 1702 was carved by Lars Jenssen Borg (d. 1710). The baptismal font was made by his son, Nicolai Larsen Borg (1673-1764) and is from 1721. In 1751, Lars Pinnerud (1700–1762) carved a new altar for the church. The following year it was painted by Eggert Munch (ca. 1685-1764).[2] [3][4][5][6][7]


Name


The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old Fluberg farm (Old Norse: Fluguberg), since the first Fluberg Church was built there. The first element seems to be the genitive case of an old river name Fluga, and the last element is berg which means "mountain". The (hypothetical) river name Fluga could be derived from the word fluga which means "fly" (as in 'the river makes sounds like a fly'), or from the word flug which means "steep side of a mountain".[8]
