It is located to the northeastern shore of the island of Frøya, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of the municipal center of Sistranda.

It is one of several churches for the Frøya parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, concrete church was built in a modern, circular design in 1990 using plans drawn up by the architect Odd Østbye.

The new building has a modern-style sanctuary seating 430, and a beautiful small side chapel for meditation and quiet prayer.
