Storhamar Church (Norwegian: Storhamar kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Hamar Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the town of Hamar. It is one of the churches for the Hamar parish which is part of the Hamar domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

History
[edit]As the town of Hamar grew, the need for a new church in the town became apparent. In 1971, land in a residential area in the west part of the town was acquired for a new church. The church was designed by Willy Sveen. The church was constructed out of concrete blocks during 1974–1975. It was consecrated on 5 October 1975.[3]
