It is the church for the Hunn parish which is part of the Toten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The red brick church was built in a rectangular design in 1968 using plans drawn up by the architect Helge Abrahamsen.

[1][2] For centuries, the Old Hunn Church served the area surrounding the present-day town of Gjøvik.

Nearly a century later, during the 1960s, the parish began planning for a new church in the Hunndalen valley, just west of the town of Gjøvik.

Helge Abrahamsen was hired to design the new, modern brick building.
