Bratsberg Church (Norwegian: Bratsberg kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Trondheim municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the Bratsberg area southeast of the city of Trondheim and east of Heimdal. It is the church for the Bratsberg parish which is part of the Strinda prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1850 by the architect Ole Henriksen using plans by Hans Linstow. The church seats about 450 people.[1][2][3]
The church was consecrated by Hans Jørgen Darre, Bishop of the Diocese of Nidaros. The original altarpiece was performed at that time by Eilert Balle Lund (1815–1891). The present altarpiece dates to 1972 and was completed by Knut Skinnarland (1909–1993). The baptismal font is in brass and dates from 1638. The organ was installed in 1913. The church has two bells dating from 1850 and 1989. The church underwent restoration during 1905, 1972, and 2016.[4][5]
