Planning for a new church in Hernes began in the first part of the 20th century, before World War II. The architect Gunnar Bjerke was hired to design the new church. Construction on the building took place in 1935. It is a stone church with a rectangular nave and a choir on the east end. There are two sacristies on the north side of the nave and an asymmetrically placed tower on the west end of the nave. The building was consecrated on 4 October 1935. In 2005, there was a fire in the church due to a problem with the electrical system. The building was repaired afterwards. See also
