Hovin Church, Lutheran church building in Hovin village, Norway

The white wooden church building in Tinn Municipality follows a long church design with a tower at the western end and choir section eastward.

Originally established in the 13th century, the current structure was built in 1850 following architectural plans created by Hans Linstow.

The church maintains regular Lutheran services as part of the Øvre Telemark prosti within the Diocese of Agder and Telemark religious organization.

Located 22 kilometers south of Tinn Austbygd and 35 kilometers north of Notodden, the church provides seating for 250 attendees.

The second church on this location replaced an ancient stave church that stood at Åsland, 1.1 kilometers northeast of the present site.
