The first church in Fet was built on old temple grounds. It was called Hofs Church and served Hof parish throughout the middle ages. Towards 1500 Fit parish was first used. In the middle ages way of determining place names it was said that it was in Hov parish in Fet in Romerike. It was the norm with the introduction of Christianity that churches were built on old sacrificial sites. This was done to show that belief in Christ had come to replace belief in Odin and Tor. That is why the church was built at the same place that the ancients had built their pagan temple to the gods, on the property of Hov farm. No one knows for sure when the first church, which was a stav church, was built, but it must have been before 1371.
The middle ages church at Hof farm, which probably was built on a plateau out towards the river north of the farmhouse, was replaced about 1580 by a log church which burned down a July day in 1680 after being struck by lightning. Everything inside burned up with it. The new log church was built a couple hundred meters east, about where the cemetery chapel for the present cemetery is located. It was torn down in 1889 and the present church, which was dedicated in 1890, is on a ridge about 100 meters north of the cemetery.
Nobody knows what it looked like and none of the trappings have been preserved, except for an alter chalice made of silver which has been somewhat reconstituted.
