Kroer Church is a "long church" (Norwegian: langkirke) dating from 1925[1] in the Deanery of Søndre Follo in Ås, Akershus County, Norway. It is built of wood and can accommodate 120 people.[1] It was designed by Harald Sund.[1] There were three previous churches in Kroer before the present one was built. The earlier ones dated from 1340, 1550, and 1852.[2] The 1852 church was destroyed in a fire in July 1923.[3]
