Hustad Church (Norwegian: Hustad kirke) is a preserved former parish church in the municipality of Inderøy in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located just north of the village of Gangstadhaugen. The church is part of the Sandvollan parish in the Nord-Innherad deanery in the Diocese of Nidaros. Since 1887, the church has been owned by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments since it is one of the few remaining stone churches from the Middle Ages. It is no longer used as a regular parish church. Some unique aspects of this small church is that most of the interior items such as the pews are original, and the cemetery is surrounded by a wooden fence, the only such preserved fence in all of Trøndelag.[1][2]
