It is one of the churches for the Snertingdal parish which is part of the Toten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

It is possible that this church fell out of use after the Black Death in Norway since it does not show up in records until the 1600s when it was old and in need of replacement.

In 1694, the local villagers requested permission to tear down the old church and to replace it with a new building on the same site.

In 1703, the new church was completed and consecrated by the Bishop Hans Munch.

The parish priest held about 3-4 services at this church each year.
