The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1316, but the church was not new that year. The first church in Randaberg was a stave church and it was located about 2.35 kilometres (1.46 mi) north of the present site of the church. The original church sat just east of the 73-metre (240 ft) tall Randabergfjellet mountain, a notable geographic feature in the municipality. In 1415, the church underwent some repairs and renovations. During the 1600s, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed building.[3] In 1845, a new church was built about 2.35 kilometres (1.46 mi) to the south in what is now the village of Randaberg. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down.[4]
