History
Finja, known as Fenie in 1510, has its roots in the local dialect word fen, meaning sunk land. The name refers to the shallow beach areas between the church and Lake Finja. The church was built in the Romanesque style in the mid-12th century. The tower was added later and equipped with stepped gables in 1664. Inside the church are frescoes from the 1140s. The sandstone baptismal font is contemporary with the church but the altar came later in the 16th century. [1][2]
