History

Planning for a new church in the southern part of Søndre Land began in the 1870s. Herman Frang was hired to design the new church. It was to be a wooden long church with a western tower. There was a choir on the eastern end of the nave and the choir was flanked by sacristies. The church was completed and consecrated in 1875. The church was restored in 1950.^[3][4]
