## History

The Berg Church Association was founded in 1937 with the aim of building a church building at Berg in Trondheim. The initiator and first leader was the rector Tycho Castberg, who according to the congregation also drew a draft for the church building. After the money was raised, the architecture firm of Lien & Risan was hired. The church was [consecrated](/source/Consecrate) on 19 March 1972 by the Bishop [Tord Godal](/source/Tord_Godal). The church was originally named *Berg arbeidskirke*. The church was expanded in 1981–1982 and it also got a new bell tower in 1991. In 1995, Berg became its own parish at that time, the church was renamed simply *Berg kirke*.[3][4]
