Sakshaug Church
Sakshaug Church (Norwegian: Sakshaug kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Inderøy municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sakshaug, just west of the municipal centre of Straumen. It is the main church for the Inderøy parish which is part of the Stiklestad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The large, stone church was built in a Neo-gothic long church style in 1871 under the direction of architect Håkon Mosling (1840-1914). The church seats about 850 people. The church was built to replace the Medieval Old Sakshaug Church (Norwegian: Sakshaug gamle kirke) located nearby. [1] [2] [3]
