The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the 1590s, but the church was not built at that time. The first church in Vingelen was a wooden stave church that was possibly built during the 16th century. The church was originally located about  west of the present church site. In 1658, a new timber-framed long church with an onion dome was built about  to the east (just west of the present church site). This new church was called the  which means "Trinity Church". After the new church was built, the old church was torn down. In 1882, a new long church was built a few meters to the east of the old Trinity Church. The new church was designed by Henrik Nissen and the lead builder was Hans Johnsen. After the new neo-Gothic, Swiss chalet style building was completed, the old church was torn down. The new church was consecrated on 17 November 1880. Media gallery
