It is an annex chapel in the Fjaler parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church design in 1913 by master builder Gerhard Folkestad.

The old building was remodeled to be the nave and a new choir was built to give it a long church design.

During World War II, the occupying German military occupied the building, but some people in the village were able to salvage some of the interior furniture and items and save them from damage before the Germans took over.

Prior to 1991, this chapel was part of the Askvoll municipality (and parish).
