It is located in the village of Feios, along the southern shore of the Sognefjorden. It is the church for the Feios parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new that year. The first church was likely a wooden stave church that was likely built during the first half of the 12th century. The church was a rectangular building with a tower in the west. The building measured about Шаблон:Convert. Over the centuries, the church was renovated, but by the 1860s, it was decided that the old church would be torn down and a new church would be built on the same site. The new building was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan in 1864 and Johannes Øvsthus was hired to be the lead builder for the project. It was a long church with a west tower, rectangular nave and choir with a sacristy extension. The new church was consecrated on 12 December 1866 by Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. The church interior has a Swiss chalet style.[3][4][5]
