History

Construction on the wooden church was started in 1883. The church was built to serve the people in the Heim area since the trip to the main Hemne Church in Kyrksæterøra was long by road or boat, plus that church was full to capacity with the people of that area. The Heim Church was built by local builders for a cost of 12,500 kr. The church was consecrated on 16 January 1884.[3]
