History

Starting in 1928, the people of Tyssedal began petitioning the government for their own church. It wasn't until the 1960s when their wish came true. A new church, including a full basement which has bathrooms and meeting rooms was designed by Aksel Fronth. The foundation stone was laid on 29 February 1964 and work carried on for about a year. The new church was consecrated on 4 April 1965 by the Bishop Per Juvkam. [3] [4] [5]
