History

For centuries, Nordsinni Church was located at Haugner. In 1898, the old Nordsinni Church was taken down and moved further down the valley to a more accessible location. Around 1900, a bell tower was built at the site of the old church, alongside the existing cemetery there. In 1938, a small burial chapel was built on the site as well. The building was designed by Harald Myhre as a long church that measured and it had room for 100 people. In 1950, the chapel was consecrated for church use by the Bishop Kristian [Vilhelm Koren Schjelderup Jr.|Kristian Schjelderup].
