Hernes Church

The stone church features a rectangular nave, two sacristies on the north side, and a tower positioned at the western end of the structure.

The current church, completed in 1935, replaced an earlier structure dating from 1738 that served as an electoral venue during Norway's first national elections in 1814.

The religious structure belongs to the Diocese of Hamar within the Church of Norway and functions as the central worship location for the Hernes parish.

The church maintains a seating capacity of 250 people and underwent repairs following electrical system damage that caused a fire in 2005.

The building stands 240 meters north of its predecessor's location, which originally housed a 13th-century stave church destroyed during the Northern Seven Years' War.
