Nord-Sel Church (Norwegian: Nord-Sel kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sel Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nord-Sel. It is the church for the Nord-Sel parish which is part of the Nord-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1932 using plans drawn up by the architect Knut Villa. The church seats about 120 people.[1][2]

History[]

Historically, the old Sel Church was located at Nord-Sel on the Romundgård farm, just about 80 metres (260 ft) south of the present site of the Nord-Sel Church. In 1742, the old Sel Church was torn down and a new Sel Church was built about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) to the southeast, further down the valley. Nord-Sel was then without a church for nearly 200 years. In the early 1930s, plans were made to build a new church in Nord-Sel, on a site about 80 metres (260 ft) to the north of the old historic church site, on the opposite side of the road. The new long church building was designed by . The building was constructed in 1931-1932 and it was consecrated in 1932. The nave is rectangular and has a small tower over the church porch in the southeast, the chancel is on the northwest end of the building, and there is a sacristy on the southwest side of the chancel.[3][4]
