The church in Ytre Arna is a long church from 1899 and is a copy of the Berger church from 1895 in Svelvik in Vestfold. Both churches have the same architect, Schak Bull, and date from the same period. The reason for the similarity of the churches is the industrial history of both places. The villages of Ytre Arna and Berger have been transformed into industrial sites and were both built around the textile industry.

This church dates from the 13th century. The walls and the Romanesque outer door are still original pieces of the first church building. During the 15th century, a porch was added, the choir was extended, the windows were enlarged and the roof was raised. The separate bell tower burned down in 1773 after which the bells were attached to the church itself. In the middle of the 19th century, the church had become too small to house the parish. The village wanted to use the stones of the old church to built a new and larger building. Luckily, magistrate Carl Martin Schönmeyer could prevent this. The church was left untouched, but abandoned. Almost a century later, in 1937, the historian Gustaf Näsström asked for donations to restore the church. To mark the 100th anniversary of the church in 1950, it was decided to protect the church from demolition forever. In 1978 there was a thorough renovation.
