It is one of the churches for the Mosvik parish which is part of the Stiklestad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, wooden church was built in a Gothic long church style in 1884 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Digre.

[1][2][3] The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1533, but the church was likely built around the year 1250.

The old church was quite tall with a high roof line.

In 1652, the choir and eastern portion of the nave were torn down and rebuilt.
