Steinkjer Church, Modern basilica in Steinkjer Municipality, Norway

The white concrete church features a square entrance front, a 38-meter bell tower, and walls made of white bricks with red brick flooring.

Two previous churches existed at this location: one from 1865 burned in 1900, and another from 1902 was destroyed during World War II in 1940.

The interior contains eleven stained glass windows designed by Jakob Weidemann and a large crucifix created by Sivert Donali for religious services.

The church building completed in 1965 provides seating for 600 people and serves the Steinkjer parish within the Diocese of Nidaros.

The ceiling structure mirrors the cross-section of a church bell, supported by dark-stained pine columns that stand against lighter-colored walls.
