L'église Stavkirke d'Øye est généralement datée d'environ 1200. Elle a été démolie vers 1747 lorsqu'une nouvelle église en bois a été construite. En 1935, des parties de l'ancienne stavkirke ont été trouvées sous le plancher des églises en bois et ont servi de point de départ à la reconstruction de la stavkirke entre 1955 et 1965.
