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

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1748 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect.

The new building was completed and put into use on 8 December 1748, but it was not consecrated until 24 February 1749.

In the early 1800s, a small church porch was built on the west end of the nave.

During the 1920s, a new sacristy was built on the east end of the chancel.
