History

In 1965, the old Opløyfjorden Chapel was taken down and moved from Østre Bogen to Lund, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the west, near the mouth of the fjord. The materials (first used in the old Kolvereid Church in 1658 and then reused as Opøyfjorden Chapel in 1874) were then reused again to build the new Lund Chapel to serve the extreme southern part of Nærøy municipality. In 2020, the municipal borders were changed and this chapel became part of Namsos Municipality and the Fosnes parish.[3][4]
