Ottestad Church (Norwegian: Ottestad kirke; historic: Óttarstaða kirkja) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Stange Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway.
The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1731 using plans drawn up by the architect Even Baardset.
[1][2] The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the mid-13th century when it was mentioned in the book Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar as Óttarstaða kirkja near Hamar.
The church didn't take long to fall into disrepair and by the early 1700s, the church was already rotting and beginning to fall apart.
Also, the parish council determined that the church was not built at a good location and set out to find a new location nearby for the church.
