== Fire == The church was partially destroyed by arson on 1 August 1992, when two 17-year-old boys broke into the building and set fire to the altar. A cross from a grave pillar outside the church was placed upside down on the outside of the church wall in the days before the fire, which is believed to be connected with the Early Norwegian black metal scene.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Moynihan |first1=Michael |author-link1=Michael Jenkins Moynihan |title=Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground |last2=Søderlind |first2=Didrik |author-link2=Didrik Søderlind |publisher=Feral House |year=2003 |isbn=0922915946 |edition=Revised and expanded |location=Port Townsend, Washington |pages=82f |orig-year=1998}}</ref>
