History

The church was built in 1912 to serve the people of the old Davik municipality who lived on the north side of the Nordfjorden. From 1912 until 1953, the chapel at Totland was an annex of the Rugsund Church parish across the fjord. In 1953, Totland became its own parish . In 1965, the municipality of Davik was split up and merged into other neighboring municipalities and the parish area of Totland was merged into Vågsøy Municipality.
