It is an annex chapel for the Nordre Ål parish which is part of the Sør-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

[1] The push for building a mountain church at Nordseter is said to date back to 1937, but it took almost three decades of meetings, planning and fundraising before the project was realized.

Viksjø later made a model that was shown in different contexts, so that people could form a picture of how it would all be.

The church was built in 1963-1964 and it was consecrated on 15 March 1964 by Bishop Kristian Vilhelm Koren Schjelderup Jr.

In 2014, a 20-square-metre (220 sq ft) addition was added on the south side of the building.
