Skedsmo Church, Medieval church in Lillestrøm Municipality, Norway

The stone church features thick outer walls measuring 130 centimeters, with a cruciform layout and sacristies positioned on the southern side.

Originally constructed in 1180 as a Romanesque longship church, the structure underwent substantial expansion and reconstruction work between 1856 and 1860.

The church displays a Renaissance pulpit from 1578 and an altarpiece from 1693, depicting scenes from Easter Gospel with Dutch-influenced painted carvings.

Located on Vestvollveien 54, the church maintains its original medieval bell in the entrance hall, which served until developing a crack in 1935.

The church houses a modern replica of a medieval Saint Olaf statue, carved from black alder in 2000 by Bjarte Aarseth.
