The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1863 using plans drawn up by the architect Peter Høier Holtermann.

[4][5] By 1860, the church had fallen into such disrepair that it was not considered worth the trouble to repair it.

The church was designed by Peter Høier Holtermann and built by builder F. Scheuffert from Tvedestrand.

In the 1960s, the church was extensively restored and at the same time, a sacristy was built on the south side of the choir.

A storage room for the cemetery was also built in the basement of the church.
