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.[1]

Hustad Church in Inderøy is a medieval era church built of brick between 1130 and 1160. The altarpiece from 1702 has the image of the Crucifixion. On the pulpit is the painted carvings of the evangelists. 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.[2][3]
