History

Permission to build a church in Ytre Arna was granted by Royal Decree on 22 May 1897. The new church was completed in 1899 and it was consecrated on 5 November 1899. The designs of the church were drawn by the architect Schak Bull, and the main builder was Peter Gabrielsen from Spjutøy in Lindås. The construction of the church was funded by the owner of the local factory, Jürgen Jebsen. In 1949, the interior underwent a significant renovation led by architect Ole Landmark.[3][4][5]
