History
During the 1950s, plans were made to build a church in Vølstad. Per Nordan (the grandson of the noted church architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan) was hired to design the new church. It was a wooden long church that was constructed during 1959. The new church was consecrated on 24 June 1959 (on the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist day).[3][4]
