Sør-Fron Church is a parish church at Hundorp in Sør-Fron municipality, Norway. Because of size and central location in Gudbrandsdalen it has been nicknamed Gudbrandsdalen cathedral . The church has an octagonal plan and is laid out in a colorful baroque style. It is one of the few masonry rural churches from the 1700s in Norway, and its style and design was unusual or unique in Norway at the time of construction.The church is described as the greatest building of the 1700s in Gudbrandsdalen, Muri describes the interior as holistic. and Hosar believes the building to be imposing and very sophisticated for its time. Harry Fett described the building as "graceful" and believed that Røros Church as well as local wood carving traditions influenced the design. According to Hosar, Sør-Fron church left few traces on subsequent church construction in Gudbrandsdalen, possibly because a period of extensive church building just came to an end. Sør-Fron Church served as a model for Grytten Church in Rauma, the latter constructed in timber. Grytten Church is the only directly modeled on Sør-Fron Church, this most clearly seen in the interior. Unlike Sør-Fron church, Grytten church is a regular octagon and the roof is straight without the small jump that is characteristic for Sør-Fron church.
