About
Dating back to 1777, Biri church is a timber building with an area of 500 square metres with seating for 450 people.
The church regularly performs weddings and christenings; it is the oldest church in the area, full of traditions and richly decorated. The church also has a large new grand piano and hosts a number of concerts.
The damaged church roof and the resulting rot were repaired in 2007. In addition, the church exterior was painted. A new chapel of rest came in 1999.
The present cemetery has replaced the old graveyard next to the church, which was in use from 1891 to 1942.
