The stone and glass church was built in a fan-shaped style in 2005 using designs by the architect Gunnar Fossen from the firm Brandsberg-Dahls Arkitektkontor AS. The church seats about 500 people.[1][2]

This church was built in 2005 to replace the Old Nærbø Church which was nearly 200 years old and too small for the community. This church cost about 44 million kr to build.
