In 1966, the new Fyllingsdalen parish was established. A rented interim church space was in use right away. Planning for a church for the parish began soon afterwards. In 1968, Helge Hjertholm was hired to design the new church (he had designed other nearby churches as well). He designed a modern-looking church with a unique curved roofline. Construction on the church took place from 1974-1976. The new building was consecrated on 3 December 1976.[3][4][5]
