History

The people of eastern Masfjorden had long desired a church of their own due to the long journey to their parish church, Sandnes Church. The new church was designed by Ole Syslak who also led the construction. The parish also credits Jacob Wilhelm Nordan as helping with the design. Nordan was an architect and the church ministry's consultant in construction matters. Presumably Nordan corrected parts of Syslak's drawings. The church was consecrated on 24 March 1882 by the Bishop Waldemar Hvoslef. In 1957, electric lights were installed in the church and then in 1960, electric heating was installed. In 1965, Erlend Tryti designed an addition that was built to the east. The small extensions on each side of the church porch and tower were designed by Ole Halvorsen and built around 1970. The church was refurbished for the 125th anniversary in 2007. [3] [4] [5]
