Ingdalen Chapel
History
The idea of a church in Ingdalen has been around for a long time since the people of this village historically had to cross the Trondheimsfjorden in order to get to the church for their parish, Stadsbygd Church. Towards the end of World War II, this effort was formalized with meetings and the appointment of a committee. This was followed by fundraising, and then the architect John Tverdahl was hired in 1945 to draw up plans for the building. The formal inquiry to the Norwegian Ministry of Church Affairs and Education came in 1957, and the Royal Decree approving the construction of the new church was given in October 1957. The construction of the church took place during the summer of 1959 under the leadership of builder Knut Kristian Grostad. The new building was consecrated on 11 December 1960 by the Bishop Arne Fjellbu.
