Hustad Church (Norwegian: Hustad kirke) is a preserved former parish church of the Church of Norway in Inderøy municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located just north of the village of Gangstadhaugen. It is the former main church for the Sandvollan parish which is part of the Stiklestad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white Romanesque, stone church was built in a long church style around the year 1150. The church seats about 150 people. In 1887, the new Heggstad Church replaced this church. At that time, this church was closed and sold to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments (Fortidsminneforeningen) to be maintained as a museum. The church is no longer regularly used, but it is used for special occasions.[1][2][3]
