Selbu Church

It is one of the churches for the Selbu parish which is part of the Stjørdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

The white, stone church was built in a cruciform style around the year 1150 under designs by an unknown architect.

It was originally built as a single-nave long church with narrower choir with a lower roof line in the southeast.

[3][4] The large tower on the west end also houses the entry porch for the church.

When a new floor was laid in the church in 1959, a total of 118 coins were found, most of them being Norwegian and Swedish.

The Swedish coins have a dating range from 1275 to 1560, while 34 of the total 58 Norwegian are minted under Håkon Håkonsson (1217–63).
