History[]
During the 1950s, the parish decided to build a church in the Finnskogen forest area in eastern Våler. In 1952, Magnus Poulsson was hired to design the new church. The church design is reminiscent of the shape of a spruce tree. The base is almost square, and the tower superstructure is pyramid-shaped. The tower above the roof is set diagonally in relation to the building itself. It thus becomes a pyramid diagonally above the pyramid. The church was built in 1955 and it was consecrated on 30 October 1955 by the Bishop Kristian Schjelderup.[3][4]
