Hamar, NO

Vang Church

The Vang church is an octagonal brick church dating from 1810. The bell tower on the west side comes from the old medieval church on the site. The church was designed by parish priest Abraham Pihl, and the builder was Svend Aspås from Røros. The church in Vang has since served as a model for the church in Gamle Hunn, the church in Åmot in Nord-Torpa and the church in Jevnaker. The church was restored in 1954, and as with Hamar Cathedral, the restoration work was led by the architect Arnstein Arneberg.
