History
During the 1920s, planning for a new annex chapel in Sundvor began. Erlend Tryti was hired to design the new chapel. The white, wooden chapel was built in 1927. It was consecrated on 14 October 1927. In 1980, the building was enlarged to the west to add bathroom space and storage. In 2000, the chapel was upgraded in status to a "parish church".{{Cite web |last=Lidén |first=Hans |title=Sundvor kapell |url=http://www.norgeskirker.no/wiki/Sundvor_kapell |access-date=2014-07-27 |publisher=Norges Kirker |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Sundvor kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/hordaland/sundvor-kirke/ |access-date=2021-11-14 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}
