History

edit

The church was built after the old church site was moved from Halmøya island to the present site of Vik Church in the southern part of the municipality. This church was built further north to serve that portion of the municipality. The foundation stone was laid on 9 July 1871 and then it was consecrated on 2 August 1872 by Bishop Andreas Grimelund.[3][4]
