History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1319, but the church was not new at that time. The first church on this site was likely a stave church built during the 13th century. The stave church was in use for several centuries until 1627 when it was torn down. A new long church was built on the same site which was completed in the early 1630s. [3]

In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian : valgkirke). [4] Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year. [4] [5]

In 1829, the church was torn down and a new church was again rebuilt on the same site. The new church was consecrated in 1830. In 1858, the church was struck by lightning and it burned to the ground. The following year, 1859, a new church was completed on the same site. [3]
