History
The earliest existing historical records of the church parish date back to the year 1360, but the church was likely built before that time. The first church was a wooden
consecrated on 17 November 1861 by the local provost Hveding. For the 100th anniversary in 1961, the church underwent a major restoration, according to plans by architect Stensaker. The church received a small addition of a sacristy, a new floor, and new pews. The pulpit was restored, and insulation was added over the ceiling, in addition to new pieces of furniture.[3][4][5][6]
