The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the 1590s, but the church was not built at that  time. The first church in Vingelen was a wooden stave church that was possibly built during the 16th century. The church was originally located about west of the present church site. In 1658, a new timber-framed long church with an onion dome was built about to the east (just west of the present church site). This new church was called the which means "Trinity Church". After the new church was built, the old church was torn down. In 1882, a new long church was built a few meters to the east of the old Trinity Church.
