Old Tingelstad Church

The stone church features Romanesque architecture with a rectangular nave measuring 14 by 11 meters and a smaller choir section of 7 by 8.5 meters.

Construction of the church began in 1220, initially serving as a private chapel for a local manor farm before becoming a parish church for the community.

The interior contains religious artifacts including a pulpit from 1579 and a mural from 1632 depicting the historical Dano-Norwegian coat of arms.

The church maintains a seating capacity of 110 people and opens during summer months for annual services and special occasions throughout the year.

In 1820, builders replaced the original tower with a wooden octagonal structure positioned on the roof of the main nave section.
