History
Mandal Chapel was built thanks to the emigrant Ole Bringen, who had settled in Nebraska and sent money back to his home village to be used for the construction of a chapel. The plot of land was given by a teacher named Kjetil Kvåle. The chapel was designed by Wilhelm Swensen and it was built in 1954. The new chapel was consecrated on 13 June 1954. The nave and chancel are both rectangular. There is a small tower on the roof of the nave. There is a church porch on the west end of the nave. In addition, a north wing with a meeting room was built. The choir can also be separated from the nave when the latter is used for other types of events. Around 2010, the roof was replaced.
