History

In 1875, a cemetery was built in Vikanes. Soon after, people began asking for a chapel to be built by the cemetery. Around 1890, plans were made to build a chapel at the site. The parish hired Johannes Øvsthus to design the building and Askild S. Heldal was hired as the lead builder. The church was completed and consecrated in 1891. In 1951, the church received electricity for light and heat. It was renovated in 1967 under the direction of architect Claus Lindstrøm. Then in 1991, under the direction of architect Einar Vaardal-Lunde, the church was renovated again, this time the church porch was rebuilt as well. [3]
