History
The building was originally constructed as a chapel in 1908 and it was consecrated in August 1909. Over the years it has been expanded several times and now it has been upgraded to a full parish church. The church does not have a cemetery adjacent to it, but rather they use a cemetery in the nearby village of Husbysjøen, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) away.[3][4]
