History edit
The people of the Holm area were part of the Old Veøy Church parish for centuries. On 14 May 1901, a royal resolution separated it out as its own parish. Soon after, plans were made to build a new, large church in Holm. Karl Norum was hired to design the new church. It was manufactured and partially built in a factory setting and then its parts were somewhat disassembled and shipped to the building site.[3][4]
