Støren Church (Norwegian: Støren kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Midtre Gauldal in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The church is located in the village of Støren. The red octagonal building was built in 1817 to replace a church from 1730.[1][2]
The church is part of the Støren parish in Midtre Gauldal which is part of the Gauldal deanery in the Diocese of Nidaros.
While Svend Aspaas' role in the design of Støren church remains unclear (Aspaas died in 1816), but he was involved in the construction of Røros Church and Sør-Fron Church.[3]
