The church is part of the Eidfjord parish in the Hardanger og Voss deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, stone church was built around the year 1309 to serve the people of Eidfjord. The church was the main church for the Eidfjord parish (sokn) until 1981 when the new Eidfjord Church was completed.
