The present Holy Trinity Church building was consecrated in 1654 after a medieval church was destroyed by fire. The ground conditions were difficult and the church had to do without the planned tower. In 1728-1729 the arches of the south nave were rebuilt. Daniel Lundquist, the Gävle town mason, finally succeeded in building the church tower in 1779-1781, but he had to use buttresses. It was not until the restoration in 1936-38 that the instability was corrected.

The Holy Trinity Church was commissioned by King Kristian IV of Denmark in 1618-28. The architect was the Dutchman Lorenz van Steenwinckel.

Steenwinkel's younger brother, Hans van Steenwinkel, was also involved in the work on the church, especially after the death of the former. The present tower was completed in 1866.

The church of Helme is a 14th-century church, now in ruins. The church probably suffered from the Livonian War, because in 1613 and 1640 the building was mentioned to be in ruins.
