The church was consecrated by Hans Jørgen Darre, Bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros. The original altarpiece was performed at that time by Eilert Balle Lund (1815–1891). The present altarpiece dates to 1972 and was completed by Knut Skinnarland (1909–1993). The baptismal font is in brass and dates from 1638. The organ was installed in 1913. The church has two bells dating from 1850 and 1989. The church underwent restoration during 1905, 1972, and 2016.[4][5]
