Charred remains of wood under the existing church indicate that there was a building on the site earlier, but nothing is known about that.

The wall panels are clamped between the corner pillars and supported by additional posts.

The outer layer of the building forms a wooden shingle façade that clad the walls as well as the roof and the corner pillars.

There is also very little decoration in the form of elaborate details and sheds on the oldest parts of the church.

This was probably a common size of village stave churches in Norway during the Middle Ages.

The church did not initially have open-air corridors surrounding it, but it did have a tower on the roof in the middle of the building the start.

Between the bottom villa and the stave floor are the wall planks that are fastened in quadrants with tongue and groove.

The upper corners are reinforced with knees made of angular wax, often taken from the transition between trunk and root.

The roof construction is made up of reinforced rafters, cock beams and knees, fastened to the pole.

On the bottom villas, there is a clear ax mark after counting, both on the outside and inside.

This is also an unusual feature because in other stave churches, all such marks are plastered away so that the walls are smooth, especially on the inside.

Two church bells from the Middle Ages hang inside the tower.

In 1693, the roof turret was rebuilt, and in the 19th century the church was extended to the east.

An additional supporting structure was then installed above the rafters and the wooden shingles were replaced.
