History edit
The first church in Slåtten was built in 1896 when an older church (from 1763) from Kvalsund was moved to Slåtten and rebuilt. That church was used in Slåtten until 1944 when the retreating German army burned it to the ground. The church was rebuilt after the war. The new building was consecrated in 1965.[3]
