Vinger Church, Church building at the foot of Øvrebyen, Kongsvinger, Norway
The wooden Vinger Church features a cruciform design with an onion dome tower and stands on an elevated position above the river Glomma.
The church moved to its current location in 1697 from its original site due to flooding risks, with construction supervised by Kongsvinger Fortress commander Johan Nicolai Møllerup.
The building serves as a parish church of the Church of Norway within the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti in the Diocese of Hamar.
The interior of Vinger Church accommodates 600 people, including seating in the choir loft, making it suitable for religious services and concerts.
The church participated in Norway's first national elections in 1814 as one of 300 parish churches serving as polling stations for the Constitutional Assembly.
