The present church, dating from 1817, is a raised octagonal church with external panels and a central tower. The church hall has painted wooden walls and flat ceilings. The decorations are characterized by classicism.

Vinje Church

The church in Vinje is an octagonal wooden church dating from 1820. In 1674, the church was described as so precarious that it had to be demolished, and the following summer a new building was constructed. Gerhard Schønning visited the place in 1773 and made a drawing of the church at that time. It was a simple long church with extra choirs and, according to Schønning's drawing, it had roof railings and small windows.
