It is the church for the Raundalen parish which is part of the Hardanger og Voss prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

[1][2] In the old days, the road to Voss Church was long and tiring for the people of the Raundalen valley.

In the early 1800s, the people began discussing the possibility of getting their own church.

The parish hired Haldor Børve to design the building and Johannes Dugstad and Torstein Øvsthus were hired to lead the construction.

The building was designed in the National Romantic style with a modern stave church inspiration.
