a small wooden sacristy was built on the south side of the choir. The sacristy was enlarged in 1935 including putting a small basement underneath it. In 1955, plans were made for a comprehensive renovation of the building itself. As part of the repair, electric lighting and heating systems were installed. Also, the floors and ceilings were insulated and the sacristy was enlarged again. The architect for the work was Jens Dunker. The church was rededicated after the work on 26 September 1956. In 1961, the old north entrance to the church was re-opened (it had been walled over in 1620). Interior The altarpiece dates to 1665 and was painted by Ola Hermundsson Berge (1768-1825) in 1797. Berge performed significant painting in the church between 1797 and 1798. The pulpit was carved by Hans Jonassen Felde in 1797. An organ was built by German-born organ builder Albert Hollenbach (1850-1904) in 1891. It was replaced in 1983 by a new mechanical organ from Norsk Orgel- og Harmoniumfabrikk of Snertingdal in Gjøvik.
