It is located in the village of Lunde in the Øvre Sirdal area of the municipality.

[1][2] A small chapel was built at Lunde in the upper Sirdalen valley in 1819.

These plans were ultimately rejected by the parish and instead, both churches would be rebuilt and enlarged.

By a Royal Decree on 29 October 1847, Lunde chapel was approved as a parish church.

The newly reconstructed church was consecrated on 1 October 1873 by the Bishop Jacob von der Lippe.
