Rissa Church (Norwegian: Rissa kirke) is a parish church in Indre Fosen municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Leira, just northeast of the village of Årnset. It is one of the churches for the Rissa parish which is part of the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The gray, stone church was built in a long church style in 1888 under plans by architect Carl Julius Bergstrøm (1828-1898). The church seats about 650 people. The church was consecrated on 26 October 1888. It replaced the old Rein Church that was demolished (and later rebuilt).[1][2] [3]
