It is the main church for the Ankenes parish which is part of the Ofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

History

[edit]

The first church in Ankenes was built around 1652-1661. Around 1730, the old church was torn down and a new church was rebuilt on the same site. Then in 1842, the old church was torn down and a new building was constructed on the same site. The new church was consecrated on 26 September 1842.[3] In 1879-1880, the church was renovated and redecorated. In 1940, during World War II, the church was damaged during the fighting. It was repaired in 1947.[4]
