Bulandet has been the site of a church since the
Middle Ages. There was once an old chapel on the island of Gjelsa in the Bulandet islands, but that was torn down in 1813. Before that church was built, records show that there once was a church on the nearby island of
Kyrkøyna (lit. "the Church Island"). The present chapel sits on the Kjempeneset peninsula on the island of Musøya. This is a very suitable location choice for the third church building since it was the centre of the village area for the islands. In addition to the chapel, there are homes, an inn, and a shop at that site. The small wooden prayer house was constructed in 1905. In 1909, the building was enlarged by adding a
chancel and tower, and then it was
consecrated as an
annex chapel on 27 July 1909 by the local
Provost Henrik Borchgrevink. During the 1960s, the chapel was extensively renovated. During this rebuilding project, a new
sacristy was built and the
church porch with a new coatroom and bathroom, as well as adding a small kitchen on the second floor. The church was re-opened on 27 July 1966. ==See also==
