Langedrag. This new building was to be constructed across the road from the old church. The new church is a wooden long church with the nave, chancel, and sacristy on the main floor. The lower-level houses a church hall and some smaller rooms. Construction took place in 1964 and the new building was consecrated on 26 May 1965, although they started using the building in late 1964.
