Dovre Church (Dovre kyrkje) is a church located at Dovre in Oppland, Norway.[1][2]
The church was built of timber in 1736 and was later covered with slate in 1840-41. The church underwent reconstruction during 1841, 1910 and 1953-54. The baptismal font dates from the Middle Ages. It originated at a former church at Bergseng in Ringerike. The altar piece is carved by Johannes Skraastad. The pulpit was carved by Lars Pinnerud. There is a Soviet war memorial in the cemetery and three graves maintained for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[3][4][5]
