Skei Church

Skei Church (Norwegian: Skei kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Skei. It is the main church for the Ogndal parish which is part of the Stiklestad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1664 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 290 people. History It is not known exactly when the first church was built at Skei, but in existing historical records from 1490 "Skeide Sokn" is mentioned, and Olav Engelbrektsson has in its Domesday Book from 1533 referred to the farm "church Skeiid". Skei Church is mentioned in connection with the will of the Crown (the King's property) by the Reformation (1536). The name Skei suggests that this place may have been a meeting place also in pre-Christian times. Skei means "contest or the event center," which probably suggests something about the use, even if the site is not known as a place of worship. The existing baptismal font in the church today is dated to the years 1250-1275, so it is likely that the first church was built here during the 13th century on the same site as the present building. In 1664, the old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new building on the same site. The new building was described as being "spacious" and having a very nice tower. In 1725, the church was sold during the Norwegian church auction, and the first private owner, Colonel Claus Janus Gedde who also bought Mære Church and Henning Church. Over the next 75 years, the church was owned in turn by Casper Heirich von Westerwald (1735-1772), Andrew Bull (owner for only two days), Jorgen Urne Westerwaldt (1772-1776), Theodore Bergmann Holst (1776-1786), and David Andrew Gram (1786-1803). In 1803, the local congregation bought the church for 3,150 rigsdalers. In 1885, a new sacristy was constructed. On 1 January 1901, the local municipality took over the ownership of the church. In 1911, the church was renovated. The old tower was torn down and a new tower on the west end of the building was constructed. Inside, the ceiling height was raised about 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in). Electric lights were added in the 1920s and electric heat was added in 1955. See also List of churches in Nidaros References

There likely have been six churches on this site over the centuries. The original church was located about 60 metres (200 ft) northwest of the present church site. By the mid-1600s, the old medieval church had fallen into disrepair and in 1659 it was torn down. A new cruciform log church was built to replace it on the same site. It was repaired extensively in 1702, but by 1725 it was described as being dilapidated and in poor condition. It was torn down and replaced in 1730. This new church was a timber-framed long church with a cross-arm extension on the north side and a sacristy on the south side along the chancel. About 40 years later, a southern cross-arm was added, giving the building a cruciform design. In 1797, the old church was torn down and construction on a new church on the same site began. During the construction in 1798, a large storm hit and knocked down the partially built church, so the construction had to start over. Around 1800, the new church was finally completed. It was a cruciform design, just like its predecessor. 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 1877, the church underwent a renovation. In 1896, the church was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Soon afterwards, construction on a new church began. The new building was designed by the architect H. Jürgensen. It was a large wooden long church with small, pointed towers over both the nave and chancel and room for 800 people. The new building was consecrated in 1898. On 14 February 1983 during a large winter storm, the church caught fire and burned down. It was then decided to move the church location about 60 metres (200 ft) to the southeast of the previous church site. The new church was completed in 1987 and consecrated on 31 May 1987.
