It is the main church for the Harran parish which is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1874 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 200 people.[1][2] The church was built to replace the old Gløshaug Church which was getting to be too small and in need of repair.[3] The church was consecrated on 30 September 1874.
