The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1516, but the church was old at that time. The old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new building around the year 1550. Not much is known about that church. In 1737, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new building. By the 1820s, the old church was getting too small, so plans were made for a new church. The new church was designed by Arild Sibbern and construction was completed in 1828. The new building was consecrated on 8 February 1829 by the priest Fabritius.[3][4][5]
