History
The first known church in Hornindal was called Hornynarkyrkja and it was located in Ytrehorn, just west of the present location. This church was demolished in 1600 and was replaced by a long, low, wooden church at the nearby Kirkhorn farm. That church was replaced by the present church in 1856.
