The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1337, but the church was not built that year. The first church here was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 13th century on the same location as the present church. Around the year 1652, a new nave was built on the west end of the old church, the old nave became the new choir and the old choir became a sacristy. The old open-air corridors that surrounded the church were removed during this renovation. In 1663, the outside of the church received exterior wood siding to cover up the log building.
