In 1721, the church was described as "an old and decrepit stave church where there is great danger to its life, especially when the wind blows hard" (). Due to its poor condition, the church was torn down in 1722 and replaced by a new timber-framed church, about further to the west of the old church. In 1862, there was discussion of replacing the church, but instead it was decided to simply refurbish the old church. Another renovation was completed in 1939.

With swift limbs he hurls the shield up in the air and catches it on his foot, on his back, on his head and on his fingertips, although the stage is slippery from sprinkles of perfume and the wind blows hard; it seems as though he is trying to avoid the shield, which is seeking his body of its own accord. To keep the shield in constant motion is child’s play for Agathinus; to drop it would take practice., Martial. Epigrams, Book 9, No 38. Translated by Christer Henriksén, A Commentary on Martial The Tractate Sukkah of the Talmud says that Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel (10 BC to 70 AD) could “take eight fire torches and throw them in the air and catch one and throw one and they did not touch one another.”, Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 53a. Another mention of torch juggling from around the third century AD appears in the letters of Alciphron, where an incident is described involving a woman whose husband “was attached to the Ionian lass who tosses balls and juggles torches.” , Aliciphron, Letters of Parasites, Letter 36.
