The wooden structure features an open-air corridor surrounding its rectangular layout, measuring approximately 11.5 by 5.6 meters with seating for 70 people.

Archaeological evidence reveals that two previous churches existed at this location before the construction of the current building around the year 1300.

The church contains a medieval triptych altarpiece, painted between 1890 and 1920, along with iron fittings and a soapstone font from the Middle Ages.

During summer, visitors can explore the church daily except Wednesdays, with adult admission at 90 NOK and children aged 6-16 at 50 NOK.

The structure maintains all twelve medieval consecration crosses from 1326, making it the only stave church in Norway with a complete set.
