[1][2][3] The white, stone church was consecrated as St. Michaelskirken and dedicated to the Archangel Michael.

In 1656, a church porch was constructed in front of the west gate.

Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year.

[9][10] The baroque altarpiece dates from 1695 and is richly decorated depicting the Crucifixion of Jesus.

When the church was restored in the 1960s, several late 15th century paintings were uncovered which featured the themes of the Seven deadly sins and Judgment Day.
