History

A burial ground was consecrated on this site in October 1914. Then a burial chapel was constructed on the site in 1918. In 1920, the small chapel was enlarged by adding a choir and sacristy. The architect Peder Sæther designed the building. The newly enlarged building was consecrated in 1920. In 1923 a second floor seating gallery was added. Originally, the church was considered an annex chapel, but in the 1970s, the chapel was renovated and upgraded to the status of parish church. Historically, the church was painted brown, but now it is white.[3][4]
