The brown, wooden chapel was built in an rectangular design in 1975 using plans drawn up by the architect Ingri Stein.

It was built along the border of Folldal and Alvdal municipalities since they formed a single church parish for many years.

The church was given as a gift to the two municipalities by Magne and Wilhelmine Louise Mortenson.
