Sandstad Church

Sandstad Church (Norwegian: Sandstad kirke) is a parish church in Hitra municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sandstad on the southeastern coast of the island of Hitra. It is one of the churches for the Kvenvær og Sandstad parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The church building was authorized by a royal resolution from the King on 10 June 1887. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1888 by the architect Henrik Nissen. It was built using the same plans that were used by the nearby Hallaren Church about seven years earlier. The church was consecrated on 11 July 1888 by the Bishop Nils Jacob Laache. The church seats about 380 people.[1][2][3][4]
