History

edit

During the 1990s, plans were made for a new church in Hagavik. The architects Mette and Morten Molden designed the new building. The brick church building itself is almost square and has lower extensions to the east and south as well as a free-standing, asymmetrically placed bell tower. The church was consecrated on 1 December 2000.[3]
