History

The parish received permission to build a church in Gursken in 1918. The parish hired the Swedish architect Eduard Carlén, who is best known for having designed a large number of tenements in Kristiania in the 1890s. The wooden long church was built in 1918-1919. It was formally consecrated on 5 November 1919.[3]
