About

The following information is available for Tingvoll Church:

Tingvoll Church is a parish church in Tingvoll Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Tingvollvågen. The church is the main church of the Tingvoll parish, in the Indre Nordmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre.HistoryThe church is one of the few remaining old stone churches that was built in Norway. There is some uncertainty as to when it was actually constructed, but records indicate it was between 1150 and 1200. The 800 plus year old Romanesque style Tingvoll church and the large angular farmhouse beside it, lie on a spot on the north side of the Tingvollfjorden, just outside the village of Tingvollvågen off of Norwegian National Road 70 (Rv70). The church was built here, since during the pre-Christian era, Tingvoll was an assembly place (ting) for all of the Nordmøre region. As a consequence the church is sometimes called Nordmørsdomen, meaning the Nordmøre cathedral.
