The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1802 using plans drawn up by the architect Arne Bjørnson Listad.

The medieval church was torn down and replaced with a new building in the mid- to late-1500s.

Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.

In 1950, the church was wired for electricity and lights were added, for a total cost of 3,000 kr.

In 1952, a comprehensive renovation of the bell tower, staircase, and attic was undertaken.
