In 1869, it was decided to build an annex chapel in Sørskogbygda, southeast of the town of Elverum. (Another chapel at  Nordskogbygda was built at the same time by the same architect. Identical buildings except this one was larger.) The church was designed by Otto Schønheyder and it was built by a group of local carpenters. The style is often described as late Art Nouveau, but the windows and entrance are otherwise very reminiscent of Swiss chalet style. The church was built and consecrated in 1873.
