It is located in the Kolstad area of the city of Trondheim, [1] about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) from the nearby Heimdal Church. It is the church for the Kolstad parish which is part of the Heimdal og Byåsen prosti ( deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

History
The white, concrete building was built from 1985 to 1986 by the lead contractor Ole Stjern. The new building was consecrated on 4 May 1986 by Bishop Kristen Kyrre Bremer. The altarpiece (from 1989) is made by Sigmund Lystrup out of old beams from the old Grunge Church in Vinje in Telemark. [5] [6]
