Oppdal Church (Norwegian: Oppdal kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Oppdal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located at the Vang farm, near Norwegian National Road 70, just west of the village of Oppdal. It is the main church for the Oppdal parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1651 using plans drawn up by the architects Ole Jonsen Hindrum and Nils Olsen. The church seats about 450 people. The church is sometimes nicknamed "Marit på Vang".[1][2][3]
