History

The first church at Malvik was a stave church that was built in 1449. That church lasted until 1586. The second building was constructed in 1596, but it only lasted until 1654. The third building was built in 1656 and it was in use until 1846. The present building was completed in 1846 and it has been in use since that time.[3]
