It is one of the three churches for the Fjell parish which is part of the Vesthordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, concrete church was built in a rectangular design in 1977 using plans drawn up by the architect Aksel Fronth.

In 1923, the prayer house was consecrated for church use as an annex chapel.

In 1974, Aksel Fronth was hired by the parish in order to design a church in Landro that would replace the small chapel.

Fronth designed a square building with a roof like a pyramid.
