History

A royal decree on 11 June 1904 granted permission for the parish to build a chapel here. The chapel was designed by Ole Andresen as a wooden long church with a west tower and a choir in the east. There is a sacristy on both the north and south sides of the choir. The new chapel was completed in 1905 and it was formally consecrated in September 1906.[4]
