Ervika has been the site of a church graveyard since before the year 1550. It is possible that there once stood a small chapel on the site. Traditionally, the parish priest would go to Ervika once each year to hold a
worship service and bury their dead. Typically that service was held around
Christmas until the early 1800s when the service was moved to around
Jonsok. In 1906, the cemetery area was fenced in and in 1907 a bell tower was built on the site. In 1965, the parish received permission to build a chapel on the site. The parish hired Olav S. Platau from the
architectural firm
Arnstein Arneberg to design the new chapel. It was a brick building with an
onion dome and a tall, slender spire on top of its tower. This new chapel was completed in 1970 and it served as an
annex chapel to the main
Selje Church. The building was
consecrated on 14 June 1970. In 1997, the building was upgraded to a full
parish church and renamed
Ervik Church. ==Media gallery==
