History

The new parish of Hatlestrand was established in 1885 when it was separated from the Ølve Church parish. The new parish included the northern portion of Kvinnherad municipality located on the west side of the fjord. A new church was built in the village that same year. This would be the first church in this village. It was designed by Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe and Kjartan Imsland. The new building was consecrated in 1885.[3] [4]
