History

In 1914 or 1915, a cemetery was built in Dalholen to serve the upper Folldalen valley. Less than 20 years later, the parish began planning for the construction of a new church at the cemetery. Einar Landmark was hired to design the new church. It was built in 1933 and consecrated in 1934. It is a wooden long church with a rectangular nave and a smaller, narrower choir with a lower roof line. There is a bell tower on the west end of the nave's roof. There's also a small church porch on the west end of the building.
