Nils Engelhart was born in Meldal in Søndre Trondhjem county. His father Daniel Engelhart (c. 1638-1733) was the magistrate and later mining administrator. Løkken Mine was located in the same parish. He studied for the ministry in Copenhagen while serving in the Danish-Norwegian Navy. In 1693, he was assigned a personnel chaplain at Tingvoll Church in Romsdalen.

Engelhart was an active participant of the pietist association Syvstjernen, along with his friend Thomas von Westen. The influence from Syvstjernen marked a beginning of the Pietism movement in Norway. Engelhart died in Veøy in 1719.^[1][2]
