The white, wooden church was built in an octagonal design in 1828 by Leg Askildsen Hallingskaar, a builder from Laudal who was using plans drawn up by the architect Lars Larsen Forsæth (based on the same plans for Klæbu Church).

The interior is symmetrical with the pulpit in the central axis in front of the altar, following the model of the Christiansborg Castle Church in Copenhagen.

There is an old clay baptismal font in the church dating back to Catholic times, but it has not been used in over 400 years.

The builder was Leg Askildsen Hallingskaar from Laudal, who was using plans drawn up by the architect Lars Larsen Forsæth.

The new building was consecrated on 22 June 1828 by the local provost, Paul Brodahl Larsen, who was based at Evje Church.
