It is located in the village of Foldnes on the island of Litlesotra.

It is one of the three churches for the Fjell parish which is part of the Vesthordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The modern-looking wood-and-leca church was built in a rectangular design in 2001 using plans drawn up by the architect Kolbjørn Jensen.

Jensen, from the firm architects' Signatur arkitekter, was hired to design the building.

The church, consecrated on 22 April 2001, has been awarded a couple of architectural prizes: Fjell municipality's building prize in 2002 and the Bergen area masonry prize in 2003.
