History
The first chapel was built here in 1892 and it was consecrated on 30 June 1892. The architect was Hans Heinrich Jess from the nearby city of Bergen. That chapel burned down on 18 September 1974. A new chapel was immediately commissioned and it was completed in 1975. The new, brown, wooden church was consecrated on 19 December 1976. The church seats about 250 people.[3]
