It is the church for the Davik parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The pew seats are painted blue, and otherwise oak-coloured with individual numbers for the various farms and families.

Along the walls there are five pointed-arch windows on either side, with green and red top sections.

The altar rail is oval with a white-painted balustrade, similar to the low chancel partition.

On the western wall is the spacious porch with stairways on either side leading up to the gallery.

The turret base is square, the steeple is octagonal and the spire is covered with copper.

The impression of an unusually big and fine church is strengthened precisely because of its wide west wall and the pure, elegant lines in the architecture.

In 1655, a small, wooden long church was built on the same location to replace it.

[6][8] By the late 1800s, the parish had grown too much and the existing church was too small to hold the congregation.
