It is the church for the Bjoneroa parish which is part of the Hadeland og Land prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1861 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan.

[1][2] Planning for a new church in the Bjoneroa area began in the 1850s.

Jacob Wilhelm Nordan was hired to make designs for the new church.
