The church burned down in 1861, and the well-known architect Christian Heinrich Grosch was given the job to lead the rebuilding. The church’s exterior looks identical to the previous one, and it is characterized as a Gothic Revival Basilica. Inside, there are beautiful stained-glass windows made by Karl Kristiansen, Rolf Klemetsrud and Victor Sparre. The old churchyard is now made into a park. The church hosts many activities, and holds services almost every Sunday.
