The white, stone church was built in a cruciform design around the year 1150 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect.

[1][2] The church in Ringsaker was built in the 12th century, possibly around the year 1150 or a little earlier.

The choir was enlarged to the east and the nave was expanded by adding transept wings to the north and south, creating a cruciform floor plan.

In 1594, a man named Matz Tårnbygger built a spire on top of the stone tower.

In 1652, Werner Olsen, the famous builder, constructed a new tower and spire.
