Editing Øyer (section)

==History==
The [[Black Death]] reached Norway in the winter of 1349-1350. Øyer was one of the parishes that was most severely impacted. Estimates based on tax payments suggest that between 66 and 75% of all residents died. Many of the farms there became [[deserted farm]]s ({{lang|no|ødegårder}}), which remained vacant until the late 17th century. The [[Tretten Church]] parish (which had been a separate parish from Øyer) was merged with the [[Øyer Church]] parish after the Black Death, because the decimated population of Tretten no longer could maintain their own priest.
