Løten Church

History The church in Løten was built of stone around the year 1200 with a number of Romanesque features. The church originally had a nave that measured about 12 by 8.5 metres (39 ft × 28 ft) and a choir that measured about 5.8 by 5.2 metres (19 ft × 17 ft). Originally, the church probably did not have a tower. Later, a small tower on the roof of the nave was added. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. During the 19th century, a time marked by population growth and regulations that required a certain proportion of the congregation to have a place in the church, the church was enlarged. From 1872 to 1873, the nave was doubled in size by adding on to the west. Also, a new church porch and tower were built on the west end of the newly enlarged nave with all new windows. A new pulpit and altarpiece were also put in the church during this time. This construction project was designed by the architect Otto Schønheyder and Herman Frang was the lead builder. During the 1950s, the sacristy was built adjacent to the choir. The church was externally restored in 1989–1990 with an interior refurbishment in 1995.

Soon afterwards, Ingeborg Krafft was hired to design the new chapel that would be built at the cemetery site. The building was designed as a half-timbered cruciform chapel in a style reminiscent of the many cruciform churches in the Gudbrandsdalen valley. The foundation wall of the new chapel was built in 1932 and the rest of the building was completed the following year. The new building was consecrated on 19 September 1933.

There were plans to enlarge and upgrade the building, but eventually plans were made to replace the old building. Strong opposition to this took hold in the community. People insisted that the old church be saved, so a new church was built about 75 metres (246 ft) south of the old church. When the new Nordre Osen Church opened, the old church was taken out of regular use and essentially turned into a museum. It was renamed the "Old Nordre Osen Church" and the new building retained the historic name "Nordre Osen Church". The old church is still owned by the parish and it is occasionally used for special events such as weddings and other celebrations. There is one service held in the church each year on Olsok.
