History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1589, but it was built before that time. That building was partially demolished in 1648 and then expanded to the north and south. It burned down as a result of lightning strikes in 1709. The present white wooden church was built in 1717 and was consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros, Peder Krog. The 1717 church was built a little to the northeast of the site of the old church.[4]
