History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1408, but the church was likely built before that time. The first church was likely a stave church, located about 300 metres (980 ft) northwest of the present location. In 1606, the church was torn down and replaced by a timber-framed building. In the mid-1800s, it was decided to build a new church. It was the request of the villagers that the new church be built of stone from the surrounding area rather than a wood church, and it was also decided to move the location of the church. The new stone church was built about 300 metres (980 ft) southeast of the old church site, so that it was closer to the main village area. The new church was consecrated on 17 November 1861 by the local provost Hveding. [3] [4] [5]
