Grue Church, Heritage church in Kirkenær, Norway.

The white stone church follows a long design with 1.26-meter thick walls and measures 47 by 18 meters, accommodating 500 people.

The original wooden stave church from the 12th century stood north of the current site until a fire in 1822 led to construction at this location.

The church served as an election site in 1814 during Norway's first national elections for drafting the Constitution of Norway.

Located in Grue Municipality of Innlandet county, the church continues to function as an active parish within the Diocese of Hamar.

Norwegian immigrants established two churches in North Dakota and Minnesota named after Grue Church during the late 19th century migration period.
