History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1293, but the church was built before that time. The first church was likely a wooden
During the 17th century, the nave was almost completely rebuilt, possibly finishing in 1694 since that number is carved into one of the nave walls. During the wars with Sweden (and again later during World War II), the church was used as a food stock. The altarpiece dates back to 1709 when it was received as a gift from Ellen Rovert from the nearby Lade Gård estate. There is actually a swastika inscribed in a stone in the wall near the altar. In 1767, a wooden entry porch was added on the west end of the building. In 1800, a new tower was built atop the church roof.[3][4][5]
In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke).[6] Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.[6][7]
