It is located in the downtown Midtbyen area of the city of Trondheim, just a few blocks north of the Nidaros Cathedral.

It is a stone long church with features of both the Romanesque and Gothic architectural style.

Nevertheless, some of the furniture was rescued, and gifts poured in afterwards that made it possible to rebuild and redecorate the church.

[4][5] In 1686, the church nave was expanded westward, with the masonry in the original eastern parts preserved.

Christie made simplifications to the interior to bring it back partly to its former medieval appearance.

[11] The altarpiece was originally carved for Nidaros Cathedral by Heinrich Kühnemann (1711-1792) and dates to between 1742 and 1744.
