It is one of the four churches in the Radøy parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1][2] The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1350, but it was likely built before that time.

Around the year 1719, the building was renovated, with a new floor, new roof, and a newly rebuilt tower.

In 1823, the current owner was the Consul Janson from Bergen, and he carried out a number of repairs on the building.

In 1833, the church was in poor condition, so the owner, Hermann Krohn, paid for more repairs on the building.
