History
editThe parish of Sverresborg was created in 1970 when it was separated from the large Byåsen Church parish. Initially, the parish of Sverresborg consisted of one church, Havstein Church. A second church was later needed for the parish, so in 2006 an architectural competition was held for the new church. It was won by Stein Halvorsen with a project called "With the sky as a roof". The 500-square-metre (5,400 sq ft) church cost about 16 million kr to build. The building was consecrated on 7 September 2014.[3][4]
