## History

As the town of [Hamar](/source/Hamar) grew, the need for a new church in the town became apparent. In 1971, land in a residential area in the west part of the town was acquired for a new church. The church was designed by [Willy Sveen](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willy_Sveen&action=edit&redlink=1). The church was constructed out of concrete blocks during 1974–1975. It was [consecrated](/source/Consecrated) on 5 October 1975.[3]
