Løvøy Chapel was built between 1250 and 1300. After the Reformation, the church fell into disuse, and it was not until 1720 that a restoration was carried out. We do not know how far the restoration went and it was probably never completed, because in the 19th century only the walls remained, without a roof or other protection. Work on the restoration of the ruin began in 1924 under the direction of Gerhard Fischer. In 1950, the church was opened for services.
