History

There was a wooden church of unknown age, mentioned in archbishops registers in 1533 located in Framverran. That church was replaced in 1823 by a new church building. The present church was constructed in 1905 to replace the previous church. The present white, wooden church was built in a long church style by the architect Jon Rostad using materials from the previous church building. The church seats about 275 people and it was consecrated on 3 November 1905.[3][4]
