Ålen Church

Ålen Church is a long church dating from 1881 in Holtålen municipality in Trøndelag county. The present church has replaced a stave church from the Middle Ages. Parts of the stave church were used when the neighbouring Haltdalen stave church was rebuilt in a museum in Trondheim at the end of the 1880s. The west portal, leaf and west wall of the Haltdalen Stave church come from the Ålen Stave church.
