It is the church for the Fjærland parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

Inside, the church had twisted black and brown colored branches painted on the walls and the ceiling had a large painting of the sun, moon, and stars.

The architect Johan Lindstrom was responsible for the major expansion of the church that year.

[3] During the renovation, the old steeple was removed and a spire with a cross on top was put in its place, giving the church a unique look.

The church was consecrated again on 13 August 1931 by Bishop Andreas Fleischer after the renovations.
