History
[edit | edit source]Permission for building a church in Utne was first given on 14 October 1885. In 1886, a piece of land was designated as the cemetery for the future church. The first church built in Utne was built from 1892-1895. The architect was Peter Andreas Blix and the lead builder was Ivar Ivarsson Opedal. The nave of the church is 19 by 10.2 metres (62 ft × 33 ft) and the choir is 6.5 by 6.32 metres (21.3 ft × 20.7 ft). The church porch in the west measured 4.5 by 4.25 metres (14.8 ft × 13.9 ft) and there was also a small 5.1-by-4.15-metre (16.7 ft × 13.6 ft) sacristy off the chancel. The church was consecrated on 5 June 1895 by the Bishop Fredrik Waldemar Hvoslef.[3][4][5][6]
