It is an annex chapel in the Steigen parish which is part of the Salten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 1926 by the architect Sverre Kristiansen.[1][2] In 1945, the chapel was temporarily occupied by the invading German army and used as a barracks for several months.
