History

Ervika has been the site of a church graveyard since before the year 1550. It is possible that there once stood a small chapel on the site. Traditionally, the parish priest would go to Ervika once each year to hold a worship service and bury their dead. Typically that service was held around Christmas until the early 1800s when the service was moved to around Jonsok. In 1906, the cemetery area was fenced in and in 1907 a bell tower was built on the site. In 1965, the parish received permission to build a chapel on the site. The parish hired Olav S. Platau from the architectural firm Arnstein Arneberg to design the new chapel. It was a brick building with an onion dome and a tall, slender spire on top of its tower. This new chapel was completed in 1970 and it served as an annex chapel to the main Selje Church. The building was consecrated on 14 June 1970. In 1997, the building was upgraded to a full parish church and renamed Ervik Church. [3] [4]
