The white, stone church was built in a rectangular design in 1905 using plans drawn up in 1785 (for the previous church) by the architect George Johnstone from Scotland.

[1][2][3] The stone church was founded in 1785 to serve the growing town of Farsund.

In 1901, the church burned down and only the exterior stone walls remained.

In 1905, the church was rebuilt using what remained of the old exterior walls, but with a completely new interior.

The only items from the interior that were saved from the fire was the baptismal font and a chandelier that had hung over the aisle.
