The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1395, but the church was likely built during the 13th century. The old stave church existed for many centuries. In 1745, the church was renovated and a new nave was constructed, but the old choir was not changed. In 1802, the nave was again rebuilt. It was extended and widened and the roof was raised higher as well. In the spring of 1848, the church was torn down and its materials were sold at an auction. During the next several months, a new church was rebuilt on the same site. The new church was consecrated in October 1848.
