Deset Church
History
Planning for a new church in the village of Deset to serve the northwestern part of the municipality, along the Rena river valley began in the 1860s when permission to build the church was granted. The Danish-born architect Johan Henrik Nebelong was hired to design the church. The church is a long church with a rectangular nave and a chancel on the east end with sacristies on either side of it. There's also a church porch with a tower on the west end. The church was rebuilt and restored in 1903, under the direction of an architect named Braaten. This renovation included the redesigning and rebuilding of the church tower. (View of the church before the renovations.) New renovations took place in 1953. On that occasion, the chancel vault was restored and regained its blue sky with shining stars.
