History

For a long time, the people in the northern part of Bakke municipality had a long journey to the local parish church. After about 10–15 years of discussions and fundraising, a church was built in 1930. The church was consecrated on 9 October 1930 by the Bishop Bernt Støylen. The church was financed by a grant from the national government of 4,000 kr and a municipal grant of 2,000 kr plus donations from the residents of the area of about 10,000 kr.[3]
