Nes Church, Medieval stone church in Ringsaker Municipality, Norway

The limestone church features a cruciform design with a wooden tower, incorporating both Anglo-Norman Gothic and neo-Gothic architectural elements at its location in Tingnes.

Built around 1250 to replace an 11th-century wooden stave church, the structure underwent expansions in 1697 and 1704 with the addition of transept wings.

The church functioned as an election site during Norway's first national elections in 1814, serving as a polling station for the Norwegian Constituent Assembly.

The church building accommodates 320 people and remains an active parish church within the Ringsaker prosti deanery of the Diocese of Hamar.

The great Storofsen flood of 1789 created such high water levels that churchgoers had to row boats over the cemetery walls to attend services.
