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

[3] Undredal Stave Church was built in the middle of the 12th century, possibly from the year 1147, but very likely from the mid- to late-1100s.

The original part of the church includes roughly the eastern 2/3rds of the present building.

Around 1850, the building was extended to the west by lengthening the nave by about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) and adding a new belltower and church porch on the west end of the newly enlarged nave.

Inside the church, the ceiling is decorated with biblical figures and angels.
