History
editThe church was built in 2015 as part of a larger multi-purpose facility: the Kimen kulturhus. The building contains a library; art gallery; cinemas; cafe; stages adapted for theater, dance, concerts, etc.; a cultural school; a youth club; and Stjørdal Church. In 2016, an outdoor park with a playground and opportunities for outdoor concerts opened next to the cultural center. Stjørdal Church is integrated as part of the cultural center and is located in the northern part of the building, with a separate entrance.[2][3]
