At that time, the church was not in good condition, but the new owner, Peder Alstrup, was unable to afford to fix up the building.

In 1765, the church was sold to the county governor, Frederik Georg Adeler.

The new Solum church was built by master builder Joen Jacobsen.

The building is a long church built out of log construction with exterior paneled siding.

The main nave has a choir to the east and a bell tower on the west end.

A few years later, the new owners decided to fix up the church and they paid for some large repairs as well as new paint for the building.

In 1902, the tower was rebuilt again, making it higher, with a tall point, and giving it a neo-Gothic.
