History

View of the church

The over 150-year-old

consecrated on 24 August 1923. After the new church was completed the Old Nordre Osen Church was taken out of regular use and essentially turned into a museum. The old church was renamed the "Old Nordre Osen Church" and the new building retained the historic name "Nordre Osen Church". The old church is still owned by the parish and it is occasionally used for special events such as weddings and other celebrations. There is one service held in the church each year on Olsok.[3][4]
