The following are photos of the Atlanta Lutheran Church, Ulen, Minnesota. Many of the Tinjum baptisms, weddings, and funerals have taken place here.
This is the only cross-shaped church in Sogn. It is of both architectural and liturgical interest, as the pulpit originally was placed above the altar.
