History

The church was originally built in 1773 in the village of Nes in Bjugn Municipality in Trøndelag where it was known as Nes Church. The Bjugn parish sold the church to the parish of Volda and in April 1879 for. The church was then disassembled and moved from Nes to the village of Fyrde. It was reassembled there and renamed Austefjord Church. The new church was completed in November of 1879.
