St. Thomas Church, Heritage church in Filefjell, Norway
St. Thomas Church stands as a rectangular concrete structure at an elevation of 61 degrees north latitude in the Vang municipality of Norway.
The original wooden stave church from 1180 served iron miners until 1808, when authorities ordered its demolition due to ongoing disturbances.
The church bears the name of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and continues the religious traditions within the Øye parish of Norway.
The current building, consecrated in 1971, belongs to the Diocese of Hamar and serves the local congregation through regular religious services.
The structure marks the location where travelers crossing the mountain pass sought shelter, healing, and spiritual guidance during their journeys.
