It is a small annex chapel in the Oppdal parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The small wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 2012 using plans drawn up by the architect Yngvild Wathne Sæther.

The parish priest, Arne Aspeland, contributed to the work in designing the chapel interior.

The building was consecrated on Michaelmas, 29 September 2012, with the parish priest Arne Aspeland, Bishop Tor Singsaas, Dean Øystein Flø, and Pastor Øyvind Vognild present at the ceremony.
