History

The white, concrete building was built from 1985 to 1986 by the lead contractor Ole Stjern. The new building was consecrated on 4 May 1986 by Bishop Kristen Kyrre Bremer. The altarpiece (from 1989) is made by Sigmund Lystrup out of old beams from the old Grunge Church in Vinje in Telemark.[5][6]
