Kvam Church (Norwegian: Kvam kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Steinkjer in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kvam, along the lake Snåsavatnet. The church is part of the Kvam parish in the Nord-Innherad deanery in the Diocese of Nidaros.
The white, wooden church was designed by Rasmus M. Overrein and built in 1878. It was consecrated on 13 November 1878 by the bishop Andreas Grimelund. It was built to replace the old church which was a small stave church that stood nearby in western Kvam from 1671 until 1878.[1]
