It is the church for the Vinne parish which is part of the Stiklestad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in an octagonal style in 1817 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 180 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1513, but the church was not new that year. The first church here was a stave church located at Hallan, about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) southwest of the present church site. The church was originally dedicated to St. Egedius. Not much is known about the old church, but it was rather small, only measuring about 20 square metres (220 sq ft). Over the years, parts of the church were rebuilt and renovated. A new sacristy was built in 1652. In 1678, a new entry porch was built. In 1725–1726, the church received a new slate roof, a new spire, a new baptistery, and larger windows. By 1813, the church was in very poor condition so it was decided to build a new church at Vinne and to tear down the old church. Work on the new church in Vinne, about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) northeast of the old church site began in 1814. The new church was designed to be octagonal, inspired by the design of the Klæbu Church. After the new church was completed, the old church was intended to be turned into a local granary. Johannes Forberg from Ytterøy worked as a builder for Vinne Church in the summer of 1815, and the church quickly was framed and enclosed. On 21 June 1815, the old church was struck by lightning and it burned to the ground. Nothing was saved from the old church. The new church wasn't finished when the old church burned down, so the parish was without a church for some time. Also during this time there was dissatisfaction with the builder of the new church, and the builder was fired in August 2016. While the disagreements raged, it seems that the builder and his work team continued. Special permission was granted to start using the new church December 1816 even though the church was not yet finished. The new church in Vinne was consecrated on 29 July 1817. After the fire, the old cemetery at Hallan was used for burials until almost 1880. In 1983, a memorial stone was erected on the site. Media gallery See also List of churches in Nidaros References

The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1899 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 75 people. History Vera is a remote mountain village in Verdal that has traditionally been part of the Vuku Church parish. The village, however, was located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the Vuku Church, meaning this was historically a very long journey to the church. The village was given a burial ground (auxiliary cemetery) in 1879 so that bodies did not have to be transported such a great distance. The population in the village continued to increase towards the end of the 19th century, and an application was made to build a church building in the village that could also be used as a school building. The municipality rejected the application in the first instance, but the case was taken up again in the 1890s and was eventually approved. For a while there has been talk of building a two-story building with a floor for a school and the church on the other floor. This plan was scrapped and they ended up building a traditional church design were the nave was used for school lessons during the week and a gate that could close off the choir from the nave during school. The builder at the construction was Ole Andersen Hjelte. Vera Chapel was consecrated by the bishop on 16 August 1899. In 1998, the school was closed and the chapel was upgraded to being a full parish church (the second church for the parish). See also List of churches in Nidaros References

The church probably was built during the 14th century, since there are records that mention an existing parish of Meløy during the 1440s. In 1660, a new church was constructed beside the old church building and when the new church was completed, then the old church was demolished. Not much is known about the church. In January 1704, a lightning strike hit the church which caused a fire that burned the building to the ground. A new church was completed on the same site in 1711. It was a log building in a cruciform design with a steeple over the center. 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. In 1864, construction on a new church just to the south of the old church was begun. The foundation wall was begun on 12 January 1864.

In 1861, the local municipal council voted to recommend the construction of a church in Fauske. On 25 January 1866, the parish received royal permission to construct the church. The church building was completed in August of 1867, but the church was not taken into use and consecrated for 2 years.
