The facility opened in 1966 based on architect John Engh's winning design from a 1962 competition. The building represents the architectural style of 1960s Norway.
The two ceremonial spaces feature neutral design that welcomes people from different faith backgrounds, with large windows overlooking the landscaped grounds. Visitors can gather in a setting that respects their own traditions and beliefs.
The location is easily accessible with parking available and proper facilities for people with mobility needs. Visitors should check ahead about times and reservations since room usage requires advance coordination.
The small chapel (Lille kapell) features glass paintings by artist Oddmund Kristiansen that bring an artistic touch to the space. The facility has also been upgraded to meet modern environmental standards for cleaner operations.
