Stange Church, Medieval church in Stange Municipality, Norway.

The stone church features a rectangular nave measuring 21 by 15 meters, with a smaller choir section of 11 by 9 meters.

The earliest records of the church date to 1225 in Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar, with archaeological evidence indicating an 11th-century wooden structure previously existed.

The church gained recognition through paintings by artist Harriet Backer, who created works like 'Christening' and 'The Holy Communion' between 1899 and 1903.

Located 2 kilometers west of Stangebyen village, the church maintains a seating capacity of 400 people and operates as part of the Hamar Diocese.

The 1772 tower construction stands as one of Norway's tallest cantilevered wooden structures from that period.
