It is located in the village of Totland, along the north shore of the Nordfjorden.

It is the church for the Totland parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.

The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1912 using plans drawn up by the architect Lars Sølvberg and Jens Sølvberg.

[1][2] The church was built in 1912 to serve the people of the old Davik municipality who lived on the north side of the Nordfjorden.

The building has many similarities to the Sør-Vågsøy Church which Lars Sølvberg designed several years earlier.
