'''Strandlykkja Church''' ({{langx|no|Strandlykkja kirke}}) is a [[parish church]] of the [[Church of Norway]] in [[Stange Municipality]] in [[Innlandet]] county, [[Norway]]. It is located in the village of [[Strandlykkja]]. It is one of the churches for the Tangen [[parish]] which is part of the [[Hamar domprosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Hamar]]. The brown, wooden church was built in a [[long church]] design in 1915 using plans drawn up by the [[architect]] [[Haldor Børve]]. The church seats about 90 people.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strandlykkja kirke |url=https://kirkesok.no/kirke/041700601 |access-date=2022-01-04 |publisher=Kirkesøk: Kirkebyggdatabasen}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Oversikt over Nåværende Kirker |url=http://www.kirkekonsulenten.no/kirker.htm |access-date=2022-01-04 |publisher=KirkeKonsulenten.no |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

==History== By the early 20th century, plans were made to build a chapel in Strandlykkja in the far southern part of the municipality. The building was designed by [[Haldor Børve]] and is located on a plot of land that was donated by Berte Marie Strandløkken, the owner of the Strandløkken farm. The church is a [[stave church]]-inspired [[long church]] with seating for about 90 people. The new chapel was [[consecrated]] on 12 August 1915. The chapel was originally designated as an [[annex chapel]] under the nearby [[Tangen Church]] and it was titled Strandlykkja Chapel. In 2015, the chapel was upgraded to [[parish church]] status and re-titled as Strandlykkja Church.<ref name="kms">{{Cite web |title=Strandlykkja kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=85600 |access-date=2022-01-04 |publisher=[[Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage]] |language=Norwegian}}</ref><ref name="NK">{{Cite web |title=Strandlykkja kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/hedmark/strandlykkja-kirke/ |access-date=2022-01-04 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}</ref>
