History

The previous church at Innset was built in 1642. It was a Baroque style, cruciform, wooden church that was built by Palle Joensen. It had 300 seats. That church burned down in 1995, an act of alleged arson connected with the Norwegian black metal underground.
The present church was built in 2000 to replace the old church. The current church was built in the same Baroque, cruciform style as the old building, and the exterior is very similar to the old. Inside, there are many elements from the old church, although the new building is far more modern and user-friendly than the old one. Innset church is a popular church for concerts.
