It is the church for the Våler parish which is part of the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The beige, wooden church was built in a fan-shaped design in 2015 using plans drawn up by the architect Espen Surnevik.

According to tradition, the church was likely built during the 11th century, not long after Saint Olaf brought Christianity to the region in the year 1022.

Some time before the year 1739, the old church had been renovated and enlarged by adding transepts to create a cruciform floor plan.

Construction began in 1804 on the new church and by 1806, the structure was completed and the interior furnishings were all in place.

The old church was torn down, but the foundation was saved and cleaned up as a sort of memorial site that now sits in the middle of the graveyard.

An architectural competition was held for the design of the new church and it was won by Espen Surnevik.

A beautiful chalice in Gothic style is an example of excellent 13th century craftsmanship, although it needed restoration in 1717.
