In the first half of the 20th century, the population grew in Dombås. The main reason for this was the building of the railway. As the population grew, Dumbås was in need of a new church. It was built in 1939 by local craftsmen with local building materials - slate from Otta of the roof and slate from Jønndalen on the walls. The church was designed by architect Magnus Poulsson.

The church was set on fire in February 2020, and was completely devastated. in 2024, the church was opened again after extensive works over four years. The church can once again welcome pilgrims and other visitors!
