While the church was in Steinar Rygi's ownership (1737–1739), the nave was extended, as it was too small for the villagers.

The new log church was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan and built by builder Bakke from Kongsberg.

The new church was completed, but it did not receive an altarpiece until 1903 (prior to that, there was a simple cross on the wall).

The church got its present appearance through a thorough renovation and restoration in 1953–1954 led by Finn Krafft.

The interior walls were paneled to cover up the timber-framed structure and the second floor seating gallery was rebuilt (a little smaller than before).
