Planning for a new church in Tørberget began in the 1920s. A cemetery was established on the site on 3 August 1924. Soon after, people began pushing for a chapel to be built on the same site. The designs were drawn up by the Statens bygningsinspektør, the governmental building office which oversaw construction projects. The lead builders were Harald Brænd and Gj. Floden. Originally designed to be an annex chapel, the building was consecrated on 19 March 1933 with Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Märtha present. The event was marked with a plaque in front of the sacristy with the throne and the letters O and M on top. The building underwent a major restoration in 1977. In 1996, the chapel was upgraded to parish church status and at that time it was renamed as a church.[3][4]
