History

There are historical records of a church on the island of Husøya dating back to at least 1589. In an inspection of the church in 1771, it was noted that the cruciform log church building was over 100 years old. At that time it was considered to be in very poor condition. There were about 10 rows of benches in the church. In 1773, a new church was built to replace to older church.
