Strømsgodset

Strømsgodset was originally a small rural annex to the city parish of Bragernes (Drammen).

The small size of this formannskapsdistrikt was, however, a problem - and it had to be merged with the larger municipality of Skoger on 1 January 1844.

Today, Strømsgodset forms the eastern part of the borough of Gulskogen in Drammen.

On its 100th anniversary in 1943 the church underwent a renovation led by architect Wilhelm Karlsson and headteacher Carsten Lien.

Norwegian poet, novelist and newspaper editor Per Sivle was buried in the church cemetery.
