History edit
The first church in Bartnes was built around the year 1660 when the old Malm Church was relocated across the fjord to Bartnes. In the mid-1800s, the church was taken down and moved back across the fjord, but the cemetery that surrounded it remained. Over a century later, the parish chose to build a chapel just south of the cemetery. The new chapel was consecrated on 31 July 1960 by the bishop Arne Fjellbu.[3][4]
