The oldest part of the old church of Orre is said to have been built around the middle of the 13th century. The sea was probably higher in the Middle Ages, so that ships could dock completely inside the church. The old church of Orre was the parish church of the parish of Orre until 1950, when the church of Orre in Pollestad (Orre centre) was built.
