There have probably been several churches here throughout the centuries. The last church at Tjora was demolished in 1842. It was a stave church that leaves no traces today.

In the early Christian period, 1000 — 1100 years ago, four large stone crosses were erected at Tjora. These may have marked the burial ground before churches were built here. Before churches were built, the crosses served as gathering points for worship services.

Two of the stone crosses still stand at Tjora today. These stone crosses are among the earliest physical traces of the Christianization of Norway, indicating contact with the Celtic Church in Britain during the Viking Age. There are over 60 stone crosses in Western Norway. Celtic stone crosses from the Christianization period, like those at Tjora, are found only in Britain and in Western Norway.
