Hov Church, Church building in Søndre Land, Norway.

The Hov Church stands in Søndre Land Municipality with gray stone walls and maintains its traditional Norwegian architectural elements.

The current structure, consecrated in 1780, represents the third church built on this site after previous ones were demolished in 1648 and fell in 1778.

The church grounds include original cemetery walls and two gatehouses constructed in 1781 at the northern and eastern entrances.

The cemetery surrounding the church has expanded three times: eastward in 1920, southward in 1958, and westward in 1976.

Archaeological evidence suggests the current church occupies the exact location of its medieval predecessor, with charcoal findings indicating a fire destroyed the previous structure.
