It is located in the Lade neighborhood in the city of Trondheim, just southeast of Korsvika and east of Ladehammeren.

The altarpiece dates back to 1709 when it was received as a gift from Ellen Rovert from the nearby Lade Gård estate.

There is actually a swastika inscribed in a stone in the wall near the altar.

In 1767, a wooden entry porch was added on the west end of the building.

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 at Eidsvoll Manor later that year.
