Stange Church (Norwegian: Stange kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Stange Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the village of Stangebyen. It is the church for the Stange parish which is part of the Hamar domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The white, stone church was built in a partial cruciform design in the middle of the 13th century using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 400 people.[1][2]
