The Haug church was built in the Middle Ages, but the remains of the medieval church are rare. The original nave and choir were demolished and a new choir and a longer brick nave were built in 1861-62, according to the drawings of the architect Wilhelm Hanstein. Most of the interior of the Haug church was lost in a fire in 1818, except for the altarpiece and some furniture.
