It is an annex church for the Røvik og Veøy parish which is part of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Møre.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in the Swiss chalet style in 1905 by the architect Gabriel Smith.

[1][2] Prior to the 20th century, the Bolsøy Church served most of the area around what is now the town of Molde.

Eventually, it was decided to build two new churches, a new Røbekk Church on the mainland north of the island of Bolsøya and another new church at Røvika to serve the mainland to the southeast of the island of Bolsøya.

The architect Gabriel Smith was hired to make designs for the building and Eirik Sylte from Tresfjord was hired as the lead builder.
