The plot of land was laid out by Peter Leonard Neumann from Trondheim, who also made the drawings for the building.

The church was consecrated on 15 August 1784 by Marcus Fredrik Bang, Bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros.

Røros Copper Works paid for the building of the new stone church, and the emblem of the copperworks company was put on all sides of the tower wall.

The altarpiece features a painting from 1792 entitled Innstiftelsen av nattverden by artist Johan Jørgen Lyng (1756-1793).
