View of the church

In 1930, Ingwald Nielsen gave funds for the construction of a chapel at Blomvåg in exchange for the municipality providing the land, road, and foundation wall. The deal was agreed to and a permit issued on 5 December 1930. The chapel was designed by Carl Berner. The foundation stone was laid on 29 April 1931 and the work was completed in just over six months during 1931. Unfortunately, Nielsen died in June 1931, so he never got to see the finished chapel. The chapel was built with a nave and a chancel on the east end of the nave. To the south of the chancel, lies a large extension that holds a meeting room, sacristy, bathrooms, and a hallway. A rectangular atrium surrounded by a stone wall lies between the nave and the extension to the south. This atrium area is called the Шаблон:Lang. The new chapel was titled Blomvåg Chapel and it was consecrated on 25 November 1931. Later, the chapel was upgraded to the status of parish church and renamed Blomvåg Church. In the early 1970s, a new sacristy was built perpendicular to the north wall of the choir.[3][4][5]
