Historically, the Geitastrand area was part of the Viggen Church parish which was based on the opposite side of the Orkdalsfjorden. In 1857, the old Viggen Church was torn down and two new churches were built. A new Børsa Church was built on the east side of the fjord, a few kilometers east of the old Viggen Church site and a new church was built in Geitastrand, on the west side of the fjord. Christian Heinrich Grosch designed both churches. Geitastrand Church is very similar to the new Børsa Church, but it is smaller and a little simpler of a design. It is a long church in a Swiss chalet style. The church was consecrated on 3 November 1859 by the local dean, Henning Junghaus Kaurin. From 1950 to 1951, the church interior was extensively restored and updated.[3][4]
