It is one of the churches for the Dyrøy parish which is part of the Senja prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1937 using plans drawn up by the architects Bersvend Thoresen Elvevold and Martin Jakobsen.

The long church building has a tall tower over the main entrance.

The choir is on the northeast end of the building and it is raised up a few steps from the main nave.

In 1997, the church was renovated using plans by the architect Ottar Holtermann.
