The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1822 using plans drawn up by the architect Gunnar Knutson Saga.

The church initially was built with exposed logs on the exterior, but it received external paneling and was painted in 1864.

Also during this renovation, the interior walls of the church were paneled to cover up the exposed log construction.

Again in 1953–1955, another major renovation was carried out according to plans by Ragnar Nilsen and with Finn Krafft as a consultant.

During this project, the wood paneling was removed from inside the church to show the timber construction.
