Østsinni Church (Norwegian: Østsinni kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Nordre Land Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Dokka. It is one of the churches for the Østsinni parish which is part of the Hadeland og Land prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1877 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 350 people.[1] [2]
The first church built at Dokka was a wooden cruciform church that was built and consecrated in 1726. Not much is recorded about that church. In 1877, the old church was torn down and a new wooden long church was built on the same site. The new church was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The main floor of the church measures about 357m2 and there is also a 50m2 second floor seating gallery.[3] [4] [5]
