In 1895, the architect Henrik Bull made designs for the building which was to become a prayer house for the village. It was designed in the National Romantic style. It was built using donations and gifts to fund the construction. Over time, more money was raised and in 1911 it was enlarged and consecrated as an annex chapel for the Elverum Church parish. More recently, the chapel was upgraded to parish church status.[3][4]
