The church in Straumshamn was established in 1974. The concrete church was designed by Alf Apelseth. The church has a rectangular design meaning that the nave and chancel areas are both in the same room. The church has striking similarities to Nordsida Church in Stryn, which was designed by the same architect and was consecrated the year before. This church was consecrated on 28 April 1974.[3][4]
