NordPow
The project’s primary objective is to create a comprehensive Nordic resource for researching churches and prayer houses. At the same time, it seeks to document and preserve the rich historical heritage associated with these religious sites across the Nordic region. The primary audience for this initiative is researchers specializing in religious studies. Currently, the dataset includes information on churches and prayer houses in Norway and Sweden. However, the project aims to expand to cover other Nordic countries in the future, further enhancing its value as a research tool.
