On the farm Hjelmo, furthest north in Øygarden, in the innermost part of a long bay, there is a fine boatshed collection with a church beside it. From times immemorial this has probably been the fish-shed location for these farm units and this was also the landing place for the churchgoers.

It was the crucifix that attracted people to midnight mass on midsummer night. That was when it excreted its miraculous sweat.
