History
Planning for a new church in the southern part of Søndre Land began in the 1870s. Herman Frang was hired to design the new church. It was to be a wooden long church with a western tower. There was a choir on the eastern end of the nave and the choir was flanked by sacristies. The church was completed and consecrated in 1875. The church was restored in 1950.{{Cite web |title=Enger kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=84097 |access-date=2022-01-23 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Enger kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/oppland/enger-kirke/ |access-date=2022-01-23 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |date=28 December 2016 |language=Norwegian}}
