The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design with a Neo-Gothic style in 1900 using plans drawn up by the architects Lars Solberg and Johan Christensen.

The church was built with a cruciform design, but its interior is set up like that of a long church due to the fairly short transept, hence everyone is sitting facing the same direction whereas in a traditional cruciform design, the people sitting in the transepts are facing each other and the chancel is to their side.

Due to a slightly weak construction, the church began creaking loudly during a storm and afterwards when it was windy you were hear it.

Around 1922-1923, iron bars were threaded through the church to strengthen the structure and prevent the noise.

Just after World War II, the church was re-painted white once again.
