It is located in a rural area northeast of the mountain Vassfjellet, about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) west of the village of Tanem.

It is an annex chapel for the Klæbu parish which is part of the Heimdal og Byåsen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

[1] At a meeting of the Trondheim Christian Student Association (TKS) in February 1969, a decision was made to build a sports chapel in rural Klæbu Municipality (now part of Trondheim Municipality) that could be the weekend centre for students from the region.

The architecture students Steinar Romedal, Jan Oddvar Hareide, I. Tolo, and O. Holen began the work of drawing the designs for the chapel, and they were able to present the drawings to the association in the spring of 1971.

In 1977, the third construction phase began where they built some leadership offices and prayer rooms on the site.
