[1][2] Construction of today's church started around 1100 and since then it has undergone both expansions and major restorations, most recently in 2010.

The first church at Enebakk was built at the order of the king and the clergy, and was probably funded by gifts and income from royal and ecclesiastical taxes on commoners.

When Frederick IV experienced financial difficulties after the Great Northern War (1700–1721), he started selling churches to procure cash.

The church was built at the beginning of Norway's Christian era, possibly following the order of Olaf II.

The foundation was dug 1.5 meters (4 ft 11 in) deep into the hill and was 1.5 times as wide as the wall above ground level.

The baptismal font made of soapstone stood furthest west in the nave, probably to the right of the front door when entering the church.

The event was mentioned in Bishop Eystein's Land Book from 1393, where the church was referred to as Ignebakka kirkia.

The vestibule at the base of the tower in front of the entrance is called the våpenhuset, or the place to store weapons.

[5] The door on the east side of the nave has wrought-iron fittings in a Gothic design, perhaps from the same time as the tower was built.

Around 1500, the church was in poor condition: the upper part of the tower and the east gable had collapsed.

[5] Eventually funds were obtained and extensive repairs were carried out, and the building largely acquired the appearance it has today.

Because the vestry was used to store valuables, the door was made of small plates of iron equipped with a strong lock.

[4] In Norse mythology, the rooster represented salvation from the powers of darkness when it announced dawn and sunrise.

When the altar was in use, the sepulchrum was covered with a square piece of stone and the edge was sealed with lead.

[4] On a black background just above the middle is a five-line inscription stating that Christen Eskildsen paid for the decoration in honor of his second wife, Sofie Christensdatter Bing.

The initials of the parish priest Jens Andersen and his wife Anna Hansdatter Kraft are written on small fields, as well as the initials and coat of arms of Ulrik Fredrik Gyldenløve, and King Frederik III's monogram and royal motto Dominus providebit (The Lord will provide).

The decorated panel was removed from the church around 1730 and placed in the attic, perhaps because of its lush angelic figures (under the influence of Pietism).

On June 28, 1906, Asbjørn Oppegaard purchased the panel at auction for NOK 100 and gave it back to the church.

The altar table has two brass candlesticks from 1661 that were given to the church by Johan Hagemeister and Kristin Anderdatter Karre.

It has an inscription from John 3.16: Saa hafver Gud elskt verden at hand gaf der haen sin enbaarn søn paa det ath alle som troe paa hannem skulle icke blifve fortabt men hafve det evige lif 1578 (For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

When the municipality assumed ownership of the church in 1880, the fixture was placed in the attic; it was taken down again and installed over the pulpit in 1907.

The churchwarden and bailiff Abraham Bøhler ordered the new pulpit and arranged for it and the altar table to be painted.

The main panel on the pulpit shows Christ in a red robe as the savior of the world, with a globe in His hand.

The motif originated in the legend of Saint Veronica, who dried the sweat of Jesus' brow at the crucifixion with her veil, and the image of His face was miraculously impressed upon it.

The large one is as decorated with a central scene showing the fall of man surrounded by bands with deer.

[8] Around the edge there are four angels, and below is a copy of the dove hanging under the pulpit's sounding board because it was previously used as the baptismal canopy.

On the front pew on the north side is written Den Hellige Daab Samt Inden For Hr Sogneprestens Families Stoel (Holy baptism and the seat for the parish priest's family), and on the back pew on the north side is written No 16 Gamle Og Schrøbelige Huuſ-mens Qvinder (No.

One bishop mentioned after a visitation on August 29, 1812: "The singing in the church was excellent, which was contributed to the newly installed organ or positive, donated to the church by War Commissar [Jonathan Julius] Aars, and the installation paid for by Pastor Aars, and outfitted with one stop."

Next to the south door of the church there is a plaster cast of the Enebakk Madonna; the original is now in the antiquities collection at the Museum of Cultural History.

The descendants of Holm Hansen Ekeberg (1585–1645) and Ingeborg Olsdatter Eidsberg at the Østenbøl farm later became the owners of Enebakk Church.
