Værnes Church, Stone church in Stjørdal Municipality, Norway
The rectangular stone building features a narrow chancel, a western tower, and accommodates 320 people within its Romanesque architectural design.
Construction of Værnes Church occurred in five stages between 1130 and 1190, with the choir completed around 1140 and additional sections finished by 1190.
The church served as an election venue during Norway's first national elections in 1814, participating in the drafting of the Constitution.
Visitors can access the church during museum hours on weekdays from 8:00 to 16:00 by collecting keys from the adjacent Stjørdal Museum.
During World War II, the entire church structure received camouflage paint to protect it from potential bombing attacks.
