History


In 1877, an old school building was consecrated as a chapel to serve the Finnskogen area in the Hof Church parish. This was called the Dulpetorpet Chapel. After World War II was over, plans were made to build a larger church in Dulpetorpet. The National Architect (Norwegian: Riksarkitekten) provided designs for the building and it was to be a wooden long church. The new church was built and consecrated in 1953. Some of the interior furnishings including the pulpit were transferred to the new building from the medieval Hof Church.
