The church was built in late 19th century, and was consecrated in 1902.
The architects were Heinrich Jürgensen and Holger Sinding-Larsen.
The church is built in the Neo-Gothic and National Romantic styles, like many of the Norwegian churches built during this period of time.
Vålerenga church is special architecturally because of its asymmetrically placed church tower, one of Norway's first of its kind.

In 1979, the church burned to the ground during construction work and the building  was almost totally destroyed.
Only the outer walls, made of stone, were left standing.
Frescoes and stained glass windows made by Emanuel Vigeland were lost.
The church was rebuilt, and reconsecrated in 1984.
New pieces of art were made by the artist  Håkon Bleken together with a fresco which had been designed by Emanuel Vigeland.
 Former priests have included Einar Gelius.
