Moe Church (Norwegian: Moe kirke) is a parish church in Orkdal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Vormstad, about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of the town of Orkanger. It is the church for the Orkland parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1867 by the builder Ole Fredriksen Rømmesmo. The church seats about 700 people.[1][2]
History
The original church was built in 1675 in the nearby village of Svorkmo and that church building existed until 1816, when it was moved to nearby Smedshaugen. That church building was replaced in 1867 when the present church was built in Moe, on the south side of Vormstad. The present church was consecrated on 28 December 1867 by bishop Andreas Grimelund.[3][4]
