Meråker Church (Norwegian: Meråker kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Meråker municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located just northwest of the village of Midtbygda. It is the main church for the Meråker parish which is part of the Stjørdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1793 by the architects P. Olsen and E. Nanstad. The church seats about 320 people.[1][2]
History
There have been several churches in Meråker over the centuries that were located at Kjørkbyen (Kirkeby), about 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) northwest of the present site of the church. The most recent church building at Kjørkbyen was completed there in 1793. In 1874, that wooden church was taken down and moved to the present site, closer to the village of Midtbyda.[3][4]
