It is the church for the Vingrom parish which is part of the Sør-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in the National Romantic style in 1908 using plans drawn up by the architects Fin Wollebæk and Heinrich Jürgensen.

[1][2] At the start of the 20th century, the parish began planning for a new annex chapel in Vingrom.

The new chapel was approved and Fin Wollebæk and Heinrich Jürgensen were hired to design the new building.

[5] Gårdsnummer 16-20 are in what is called Døsgrenda which is actually the lower (southern) part of Saksumsdalen valley and are colored differently.
