Lørenskog church is a medieval stone church dating from 1150, but the bell tower is a late construction dating from 1864. During a reconstruction by the architect Thomas Tostrup in the 1940s and 1950s, the sacristy on the north side of the choir was erected. A Gothic oak sculpture of St. Laurentius is preserved in the church.

Løvøy Chapel was built between 1250 and 1300. After the Reformation, the church fell into disuse, and it was not until 1720 that a restoration was carried out. We do not know how far the restoration went and it was probably never completed, because in the 19th century only the walls remained, without a roof or other protection. Work on the restoration of the ruin began in 1924 under the direction of Gerhard Fischer. In 1950, the church was opened for services.

The polygonal closed choir, decorated with natural stone blocks on the buttresses and with blocks in the window ledges, has been preserved from the late Gothic village church. The choir is covered by a net vault. The nave was renovated in 1858 and renovated again in 1955 in a style adapted to the Gothic choir. The inventory includes: a pulpit, 1662 and six 18th century funeral boards. Churchyard wall. Brick wall around the churchyard, 18th century? Two-manual organ, made in 1859 by CGF Witte. The original front was lost during a shelling of the tower in 1944-1945. In 1954, the firm JC Sanders & Zoon (Utrecht) made a new front with pinewood and hardboard. In 1988, the organ was restored by the firm HB Scheuerman & Zoon (Rotterdam). The original front was reconstructed after the example of the Witte organ from 1860 in the reformed church in Bunschoten. The case remains outside the protection. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The building is housed in a foundation Freonen fan de Boazumertsjerke. The goal of the Foundation Freonen fan de Boazumertsjerke is to contribute to the preservation of the St. Martenstsjerke in the village of Boazum in the best possible condition. If a small church community can no longer afford the costs, outside help is needed.
