History

At the start of the 20th century, the parish began planning for a new annex chapel in Vingrom. The new chapel was approved and Fin Wollebæk and Heinrich Jürgensen were hired to design the new building. Ole Eriksen Lande was hired as the lead builder. The new chapel was a wooden long church with a shorter, narrower chancel on the east end and a tower on the west end. The new chapel was consecrated on 21 October 1908. In 1958-1959, the church was extensively remodeled. The ceiling was lowered and vaulted, the walls were paneled, the columns were changed, the organ was moved to a new second floor gallery on the west side, and the stained glass windows were changed. Bjarne Bystad Ellefsen led this renovation. Electric heating was installed in 1971. In 1990, the Vingrom chapel was separated from the large Fåberg Church parish as a separate parish, and the chapel name was changed from Vingrom Chapel to Vingrom Church.{{Cite web |title=Vingrom kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=85851 |access-date=2021-12-16 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}{{cite web |title=Vingrom kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/oppland/vingrom-kirke/ |website=Norges-Kirker.no |access-date=2021-12-16 |language=Norwegian}}
