History

In the 1960s, work began towards building an annex chapel in Stathelle. It was designed by Bjørn Ljungberg. It is a brick building that is partly clad with wood. The nave and chancel are in the same room, giving it a rectangular design. There is a church hall in the room next to the main room too. There is a church porch at the main entrance, there is a second floor seating gallery above the porch, and a bell tower about that. The new church was consecrated by the bishop on 7 May 1964. The church was originally called a chapel, but in the 1990s, the church was made a full parish church and renamed as a church. The building was enlarged in 1988 and again in 2011. [4] [5]
