It is one of several churches for the Askvoll parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1][2] Holmedal is an ancient church site, which in former times was the parish centre for a relatively large area.

Furthest to the east, the chancel is rounded off with an apse-inspired three-sided wall encircling the beautiful altarpiece from the 17th century and the altar table.

On the eastern wall above the altarpiece there is a square window put on edge showing a dove motif in coloured glass.

This clover-leaf form is repeated in many places in the interior, for example as a decorative element on the organ, and carvings in the partition corners between the main and side aisles.
