Construction of the church in Falun began in 1642 under the supervision of the German-Swedish master builder Hans Ferster, actually Hans Förster. After his death in 1653, Ferster's right-hand man took over the management for the next five years, until he too died. It was the then chief master builder in Stockholm, Johan Persson, who finally completed the construction of Kristine Kyrka in 1660.

Six years before completion, in 1654, the church was renamed The New Church of Falun, as Queen Kristina had meanwhile converted to Catholicism. The church was consecrated under this name in 1655 and it was not until the late 18th century that it was given the name Kristine Kyrka back.
