The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but it was not new that year. The first church in Bruvik was a wooden
stave church that was likely built during the 13th century. That church was torn down and replaced by a
timber-framed long church on the same site during the early 17th century, possibly in 1608. That church was described in the record books as a small church with a small tower on top. It had a
church porch that was built using
staves. In 1668, the roof on the northern side of the building was replaced. In 1682, the tower was repaired. A new tower was built around 1713. In 1724, the church was sold to Christian Krogh from
Bergen during the
great church auction when the King sold churches to pay off debts from the
Great Northern War. In 1764, the Garmann family purchased the church. In 1813, the Garmann family sold the church to Svein Djødno. Djødno later sold the church to several local farmers. In 1864, the church was purchased by the parish. ==Media gallery==
