History
editThe mountain valley of Budal was historically rather isolated from the rest of the parish. During the summer of 1752, the bishop requested a building permit from the government to construct a church in Budal. The permit was approved and the church was completed in 1754. It was consecrated on 19 June 1754. It was built in a Y-shape and it is the most recently built of the 10 existing Y-shaped churches in Norway.[3][4]
