Ytterøy Church

Ytterøy Church (Norwegian: Ytterøy kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Levanger Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located on the island of Ytterøya, just north of the village of Hokstad. It is the church for the Ytterøy 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 1890 using plans drawn up by the architect Knut Guttormsen and the lead builder was O. Günther. The church seats about 350 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1533, but the church was built before that time. The first church on Ytterøya was a stave church that was known as Eid Church and it was located about 70 metres (230 ft) southwest of the present church site. It may have been founded during the 14th century. The old church was torn down in 1651 and it was replaced with a new timber-framed long church on the same site. 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 1880s, the cemetery that had surrounded the church was moved about 400 metres (1,300 ft) to the northeast to a better location on the property. The old cemetery location was very shallow and not suitable for use. When the new cemetery was completed (around 1889), about 100 bodies were exhumed from the old cemetery and moved to the new one. In 1890, the parish built a new church about 70 metres (230 ft) northeast of the old church site. The new church was consecrated on 14 February 1890. Many people were unhappy with the new church site and this caused a big dispute among the people of the parish that raged until 1902. This ultimately caused 81 people to resign their membership in the Church of Norway over this. The old church was torn down around the year 1900. See also List of churches in Nidaros References
Klinga Church

Klinga Church (Norwegian: Klinga kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Namsos Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Klinga. It is the church for the Klinga parish which is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1866 using plans drawn up by the architects Ernst Kulaas and Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 270 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1563, but the church was likely built during the 14th century. The first church building was a stave church that was located at Sævik, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north of the present church site. Records from 1639 state that the church was very small and fragile, in need of supports for the exterior walls so they would not collapse in a storm. Shortly afterwards, around the year 1640, the choir was expanded. In 1705, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new, larger church on the same site. In 1863, a new church was built in the village of Klinga, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the south of the historic church site. The new church was consecrated on 7 March 1866. After the new church was put into use, the old church at Sævik was torn down and sold to a private individual who used the materials to build a jetty and boathouse in Namsos. During World War II, the church tower was dismantled (or reduced in size) by the Germans, presumably so that the church would not be a landmark for Allied airplanes. A new tower was designed by Arne Sørvik and was completed in 1948. Media gallery See also List of churches in Nidaros References

The first church on the site was a stave church that may have been constructed in the 13th century. Around the year 1644, the old church was expanded. A new nave was built on the west side of the existing building. The old nave was converted into a choir and the old choir was turned into a sacristy. An inspection in the year 1700 describes the church as old and dilapidated as well as small. The roof was also found to be rotting. So, the parish began planning for a replacement building. In 1712, the old church was torn down and construction work began on a new church on the same site. The new long church was consecrated in 1715. See also List of churches in Nidaros References

The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1874 by the architect Peder Olsen and the lead builder Erik Nanstad. The church seats about 320 people. History There was very likely a church in Meråker during the Middle Ages, but the dates are not known. The first churches in Meråker where located at Kjørkbyen (Kirkeby), about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) northwest of the present site of the church. After the Black Death in Norway many people perished and the whole Meråker area was depopulated and no Norwegians lived there from around 1350 until the late-1500s and early-1600s. The earliest existing historical records of the church in Meråker date back to around the year 1619, when a new church was built at Kjørkbyen, the historic site of the church in Meråker. The new church was built and supported by the local residents and the Bishop in Trondheim was said to be less than enthusiastic about the new church. In 1691, the small church from 1619 was torn down and replaced with a new, larger church on the same site. During the construction of the new church, many bones and coffins were found beneath the church, leading people to understand that a medieval church must have stood on this site prior to the Black Death. In 1793, another new church was built at Kjørkbyen to replace the previous one. The new timber-framed church was rectangular, almost square in shape. It had a tower on the roof and its main entrance was in the middle of the south wall of the nave. In 1874, the old church was disassembled and moved closer to the main village, Midtbygda, where most of the municipal residents lived. The last church service at the old site was on 25 May 1874. The new church site was about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) southeast of the historic site of the church. The new church was built using some of the reclaimed wood from the old church. The new church was designed by Peder Olsen and built by builder Erik Nonstad, both were from Åsen. The new church was consecrated on 16 December 1874. In the summer of 1937, the church was restored according to plans by Roar Tønseth. Media gallery See also List of churches in Nidaros References

Dale Church in Luster reflects both Romanesque and Gothic styles. The medieval-era church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Samples of the wood in the roof over the nave are dated to 1220–1229, so that may be the time that the church was originally constructed, however the church traditionally has used the date 1250 for its year of construction (the 750th anniversary was celebrated in 2000). Construction includes granite in cavity walls with soapstone corners and frames. The church has a rectangular nave that measured about 14 by 11 metres (46 ft × 36 ft) and a choir that measured about 8 by 7.5 metres (26 ft × 25 ft). The church is endowed with soapstone sculptures and preserved interiors from the Middle Ages. The Gothic west portal dates to c. 1250. The church porch and the bell tower above the entrance in the west were built around the year 1635 by Werner Olsen. Henrik Murmeister installed larger windows in the church in 1696-1698. During the 18th century, the tower was torn down and replaced with a new wooden tower. 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. The church was restored in 1903 under the direction of architect Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland. During this renovation, the church porch was torn down and rebuilt. Interior Furnishings for Dale Church are from various eras. The baptismal font from the 1200s is of soapstone and is shaped as a four-leaf clover. The pulpit is in Renaissance style from the 1600s, while the baroque altarpiece and memory boards are from around 1700. The pulpit has pictures of evangelists in the side panels together with depictions of the Crucifixion with Mary and John the Evangelist at foot of the cross, flanked by Moses and John the Baptist. The choir wall is decorated with frescoes from the late 1500s. The bride bench dates from the 1100s and the crucifix from the 1200s. Media gallery See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References

It is located in the village of Aurlandsvangen, at the end of the Aurlandsfjorden. It is the church for the Vangen parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, stone church was built in a long church design and in early Gothic style around the year 1202. The church seats about 270 people. Vangen Church is the largest of the seven medieval stone churches in the Sogn og Fjordane region, leading it to be called the Sognedomen or Sogn Cathedral. History The church probably built in two stages in the 13th century which the chancel built first and the nave built slightly later. There is a foundation stone in the church on which the date 2 May 1202 is inscribed, and a letter (now lost) that was once found in the church stated that the church was consecrated on 2 May 1202. A local historian, Anders Ohnstad, has stated that King Sverre had local ties to Aurland and he died in March 1202, so the church may have been constructed on his orders. The church has a rectangular nave measuring about 18 by 13 metres (59 ft × 43 ft) and a smaller, narrower choir measuring about 10.4 by 9.6 metres (34 ft × 31 ft). It does not have a sacristy, porch, or tower. The stone walls of the church are all 6 metres (20 ft) high and are also about 1.3 to 1.6 metres (4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 3 in) thick. The ceiling of the church reaches 18 metres (59 ft) high at the highest point. The church has a hexagonal pulpit from the early 17th century. It is decorated with painted tulips, brass ornaments, and pilasters in green, yellow and red against a pale yellow background. 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. The church was restored both in 1861–1862. In 1926, the church was restored again, this time the old wooden church porch was removed to bring it back to its historic exterior design.
