History

The people of the Fauske area first petitioned the King for a church in their village in 1841. At that time, Skjerstad Church was the main church for the area, but that was a distance away, across a large fjord. After about 20 years of discussions, requests, and committee meetings debating whether or not to have the church and if so, who would pay for it. In 1861, the local municipal council voted to recommend the construction of a church in Fauske. On 25 January 1866, the parish received royal permission to construct the church. The church building was completed in August of 1867, but the church was not taken into use and consecrated for 2 years. During this time, the interior furniture and decorations were installed, a graveyard was constructed around the building, as well as a neighboring building for the priest to live in. The new church was consecrated on 5 August 1869 by the Bishop Waldemar Hvoslef.[3]
