Fløan Church (Fløan kirke) was a medieval church that stood in the village of Fløan in the Skatval area of present-day Stjørdal municipality, Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The church was located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) northwest of Stjørdalshalsen. Materials from Fløan church are presented at Trøndelag Folkemuseum at Sverresborg in Trondheim.
History
The first written record of the church is in the Aslak Bolts jordebok. In 1432 Aslak Bolt, Bishop of the Archdiocese of Nidaros, commissioned this land register which listed lands, estates, and revenues associated with the diocese. The church was closed after the Reformation and finally completely demolished in 1851.[1]
The church has been carbon dated to 1420. Other medieval history indicates that for some time before the current building existed there stood another church at the same location.[2][3]
