It is one of the churches for the Brandval parish which is part of the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The white, wooden, neo-Gothic church was built in a cruciform design in 1651 using plans drawn up by the architect Erich Olsen.

This church was located at Furulund on the west side of the river Glomma, about 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) north of the present church site which is on the east side of the river.

The cruciform building was designed and built by Erich Olsen and Lauritz Lauritzen was in charge of the interior carpentry.

They were made by Lauritz Lauritzen and painted by Thomas Blix in 1728.
