The Saltstraumen Church, completed in 1886, is one of the two churches in the parish of Saltstraumen in Bodø. The other church of the congregation is the church in Tverlandet. The church was originally built 300 metres away, but it began to tilt due to the instability of the ground. The church was moved to its present position just after 1900.

Bodin Church, which is a medieval stone church dating from around 1240, has undergone several modifications over the years. As part of an extensive reconstruction in 1894, the church was given, among other things, a new tower on the west side and a Swiss-style exterior decoration. When the church was renovated in 1962-64, these new additions were removed and the church was restored in the style of the 18th century. The tower was demolished and the church was given an onion dome on the ridge. A new porch was built, and the interior, ceiling and gallery were renovated.
