It is located in the Sælen neighborhood in the city of Bergen.

It is the church for the Sælen parish which is part of the Bergensdalen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The brown, brick church was built in a rectangular design in 2001 using plans drawn up by the architectural firm Arkitektene Lille Frøen.

There was a limited architectural competition in 1998 that was held to determine who would design a new church for the parish.

The winning design was by Nikolai Alfsen who worked at the Arkitektene Lille Frøen.
