History

During the 20th century, the village of Brattvåg grew up as an industrial centre for the old Haram Municipality. The church in Brattvåg was built in 1977 using designs by Aksel Fronth. The church was consecrated in 1977. It is a fairly modern looking building with two large triangular walls with a slit of glass in between, forming a somewhat modern take on a church bell tower. The lower level of the building houses a church hall as well as the main entrance to the building while the upper-level houses the main sanctuary.[3]
