Soon after a parish was founded in Trappönen in 1902, a new brick church with a tower was consecrated in November 1905. The building had paired round-arched windows and richly painted semicircular vaults. The interior was designed in the Gothic style. The rectangular chancel held a wooden altar with a small finial and a crucifix. To the right of the arch separating the chancel from the nave stood the pulpit. The organ dated from the time the church was built.
During the Second World War the church was damaged.
After the war it was hardly used, and by 1960 it had been demolished. In 1996 a memorial was erected near the site where the church had stood.
