History[]

In 1883, a new cemetery was constructed in Sjølisand. About 30 years later, the parish began planning for the construction of an annex chapel at the cemetery. Hans Jacob Sparre was hired to design the new chapel. The new log building was consecrated in October 1914. Many years later, the chapel was upgraded to parish church status.[3]
