History
In 1903, a new chapel was built in Hvasser (it was later upgraded to the status of a full parish church). The new building was
consecrated on 26 June 1903. In 1912, a new church porch and bell tower was built on the south end of the nave.[3][4]
On 26 October 2005, a 14-year-old boy tried to set fire to the church. The boy was later arrested and confessed to the arson.[5]
