It is one of the three churches for the Lindås parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

It is likely that the church was originally an open-air stone altar, with walls and a roof added later.

A new wooden nave and a church porch with a steeple were added on the west end of the building.

The new building was consecrated on 20 September 1865 by the Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland.

The church was significantly restored and rebuilt in the 1960s under the direction of architect Ole Landmark.
