The building history of the old church in Holdhus is not clear. There was probably a Stave church here which was rebuilt between 1722-26 to its present appearance. The church has undergone several alterations and the last major restoration was in 1905-1906. In the 1720s Christian W. Segelken bought the church and it remained in private ownership until 1876 when it was given as a gift to the congregation. In 1889 it was sold for demolition to the hotelier Hans Holdhus, who in turn sold it to the Association for the Preservation of Old Norwegian Monuments in 1900.
