History
The white, stone church was built in 1881 in a Neo-gothic style. The architect was J. A. Johansen from Trondheim. The church seats about 500 people. The current church is the most recent in a series of churches on the site dating back to the mid-13th century or early 14th century. The church building on the site just before the current church was built in the 1770s and that church replaced an even older church from the middle ages. Much of the stone used in the present church was recycled from the older churches and reused in the current church.[1][2]
