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

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

Soon after, the parish decided to build a chapel at the cemetery.

Ole Landmark was hired as the architect for the new building.

The building is a stone long church with a rectangular nave with a hipped roof and church porch on the southwest side of the nave and a choir with a semi-circular apse in the northeast.
