History


In 1926, a small chapel was built in Oltedal. It was designed by Gustav Helland and it was consecrated on 17 October 1926. It was a wooden long church with an asymmetrically placed tower in the northeast. In 1970, the chapel was renovated. By the 1990s, the chapel was too small for the congregation, so in 2002, the chapel was de-consecrated and sold and the present church was constructed about 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the west.
