It is one of the churches for the Gjerpen parish which is part of the Skien prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

The white, wooden church was built in a rectangular design in 1858 using plans drawn up by the architect Anders Thorsen.

[1][2][3] During the Middle Ages, there was a church in Luksefjell, but it was closed centuries ago, with very little known about the building or its location.

The Løvenskiold family donated land at Luksefjell, on the shore of the lake Fjellvannet.

The wooden building has a rectangular design with the nave and choir in the same room.
