History

The church was built in 1974 and it was consecrated on 1 December 1974 by the bishop Tord Godal.[3] The church was originally called Hallset Church, but the name was changed to better reflect the area that it served.[4] The church building was extensively remodeled in 2004 by the Eggen Architects. The church building also houses parish offices and a day care centre. There is no cemetery on site. The nearest cemetery is at Havstein Church.[5]
