It is an annex chapel for the Sødorp parish which is part of the Nord-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The brown, wooden chapel was built in a long church design in 1929 using plans drawn up by the architect Knut Villa.

After the church was moved away, the local residents began thinking about building an annex chapel on the site to serve the eastern part of Vinstra.

The architect for this project was Trygve Kleiven, and after the expansion the chapel was re-consecrated by Bishop Alexander Lange Johnson on 29 August 1972.

In 2009, the chapel was refurbished and expanded again, also using drawings by Trygve Kleiven.
