Lønset Church, Parish church in Oppdal, Norway
The wooden octagonal church building stands along Norwegian National Road 70, featuring traditional Norwegian architectural elements and accommodating 250 worshippers.
After the medieval stave church at Vindal deteriorated following the Black Death, a new structure was built between 1772 and 1774, replaced by the current building in 1863.
The church maintains regular services as part of the Gauldal prosti within the Diocese of Nidaros, connecting the local community through religious gatherings and celebrations.
Located at coordinates 62.5886°N and 9.3469°E, the church welcomes visitors interested in exploring Norwegian religious architecture and attending weekly services.
Architect Sjur Jamtseter's octagonal design was selected over John Elliott Storli's cruciform proposal, shaping the distinctive appearance of the current structure.
