It is one of two churches in the Halsa parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1724 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect.

The altarpiece is painted in oxide green with marble and silver lacquer.

Olaf Nordhagen and Nils Ryjord were given the task of assessing the condition of the church, and this resulted in a major restoration project that was led by Domenico Erdmann and Ola Seter.

The project included (among other things) removing layers of interior paint to reveal the old baroque and rococo decor from the 1751.
