Grue Church (Norwegian: Grue kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Grue Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kirkenær. It is the church for the Grue parish which is part of the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The white, stone church was built in a long church design in 1828 using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 500 people.[1][2]
The church was moved from its original site to a new site after the Grue Church fire. The original site of the medieval Grue Church has been lost to the river Glomma which has changed course over the centuries and now flows over the site of the church.[3][4]
