History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1329, but it was not built that year. The first church was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 13th century. That old church was replaced by a log church during the early 1600s. On 16 November 1710, the church tower was badly damaged by lightning and major repairs were carried out afterwards to repair the tower and its supporting structures. In 1865, a new church was built about Шаблон:Convert to the northeast of the old church site. It was consecrated on 2 April 1865 by the Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. After the new church completed, the old church was demolished.[3][4]
