History[edit]
The church was built in 1907 to replace the Old Stordal Church, located about 700 metres (2,300 ft) to the east. The new church was built in 1907. It has a large tower on the west end of the nave. On the east end of the nave lies the choir which has a semi-circular apse on the east end. The choir is flanked by sacristies with slightly unusual shapes.[3][4]
