History

The parish of Sælen was established in 1982. A rented temporary church building was used for many years while funds were raised for a new church. There was a limited architectural competition in 1998 that was held to determine who would design a new church for the parish. The winning design was by Nikolai Alfsen who worked at the Arkitektene Lille Frøen. The church was consecrated on 2 December 2001.
