It is located in the Løvstakksiden neighborhood in the borough of Årstad in the city of Bergen.

It is one of the two churches for the Løvstakksiden parish which is part of the Bergensdalen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, plastered brick church was built in a long church design and in an art deco style in 1939 using plans drawn up by the architects Sverre Losnedahl and Nicolay Brøndmo.

Initial plans for the new church were rejected and an architectural competition was held in 1931 to determine the architect.

Construction took place during the late 1930s and the new building was consecrated on 12 February 1939.
