Atrå Church, Heritage church in Tinn Municipality, Norway

The wooden church structure stands at the center of Atrå village, featuring a long design that accommodates 300 worshippers within its white-painted walls.

The current building, completed in 1836, replaced a medieval stave church from 1180 that served as an election site during Norway's first national elections in 1814.

The church maintains its position as a central gathering place for the Tinn parish, organizing regular services under the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Visitors can access the church through Tinn Municipality in Vestfold og Telemark, with the structure located at coordinates 59.988384 latitude and 8.731942 longitude.

Architect Hans Linstow designed this church with specific structural elements, including a removed corridor behind the altar in 1895 and eliminated side galleries in 1908.
