The church was located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) northwest of the town of Stjørdalshalsen.

Materials from Fløan Church are displayed at the Trøndelag Folkemuseum at Sverresborg in Trondheim.

The first written record of the church is in the Aslak Bolts jordebok.

The church was closed after the Reformation and finally completely demolished in 1851.

Other medieval history indicates that for some time before the current building existed there stood another church at the same location.
