History

In the late 1890s, approval to build a chapel at Nordbotn was given and Carl Julius Bergstrøm was hired to design the new chapel. The new church was built in 1900 and consecrated on 4 December 1900. The new building was a long church with a sacristy on both sides of the chancel.{{Cite web |title=Nordbotn kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/trondelag/nordbotn-kirke/ |access-date=2021-07-06 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}
