Nes Church

The stone church structure stands near the meeting point of Glomma and Vorma rivers in Akershus county, featuring Romanesque architectural elements throughout its design.

Following a devastating fire in 1854 that left only walls standing, the original medieval church from 1100 transformed into preserved ruins while a new building arose in 1860.

The church grounds maintain regular religious ceremonies and community gatherings, serving as a central meeting point for local residents of the Nes municipality.

Located at coordinates 60.162127, 11.449363, visitors can reach the church site through marked pathways and observe both the preserved ruins and new structure.

The church property contains architectural work by Peter Høier Holtermann, displaying the evolution of Norwegian religious buildings across different time periods.
