Kirken er nevnt første gang i 1347, men dateres gjerne til ca. 1200.[2] Den ble opprinnelig revet i 1747, men gjenreist på 1950-tallet. Den gjenreiste kirken står ikke på sin opprinnelige tuft, men ble gjenreist på en ny tomt. Kirken eies av sognet og brukes til kirkelige handlinger noen ganger om året. Øye Stave Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vang Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Øye. It is one of the churches for the Øye parish which is part of the Valdres prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The brown, wooden stave church was built in a long church design in 1965 using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Øvergaard using pieces salvaged from the old 12th century church that had originally been torn down in 1747. The church seats about 30 people. (Wikipedia)
