It is one of the churches for the Søndre Slagen parish which is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.

In 1932–1933, a chapel was built at the cemetery and it was consecrated on 8 September 1933.

The building material is a local syenite which has a rough, brick-like look.

The choir is flanked by vestries that fill up to the same width as the nave and have exit doors in the east.

The proportions are such that the building seems quite wide in relation to its length, and the roof is quite dominant.
