Dombås Church

Dombås Church is a stone building with a cruciform shape and gray exterior that seats about 300 people. The interior features a functional layout designed for religious services and community gatherings.

Construction began in the 1920s as the railway brought growth to the village and the community raised funds for the project. It reflected the period of expansion and development happening in the region at that time.

The church serves as a central gathering place for the local community and shapes religious life in Dombås. Its stone comes from the surrounding area, connecting the building deeply to the landscape and the village.

The building underwent comprehensive restoration from 2020 to 2021 and is well maintained today. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship where respectful behavior is expected.

Architect Magnus Poulsson drew inspiration from traditional Norwegian stave churches while building entirely in stone. This unusual blend of heritage forms with stone construction makes the building architecturally interesting.
