History edit
For centuries, Nordsinni Church was located at Haugner (historically spelled Hogne). In 1898, the old Nordsinni Church was taken down and moved further down the valley to a more accessible location. Around 1900, a bell tower was built at the site of the old church, alongside the existing cemetery there. In 1938, a small burial chapel was built on the site as well. The building was designed by Harald Myhre as a long church that measured 183 square metres (1,970 sq ft) and it had room for 100 people. In 1950, the chapel was consecrated for church use by the Bishop Kristian Schjelderup.[3][4][5]
