Ilen Church (often referred to as “Ila Church”) is located in Ila, west of Trondheim, where the land between Nidelven and Trondheim Fjord is at its narrowest. The church was designed by architect Eugene Sissenére in a Gothic Revival style, and is built in stone with a wooden roof. It was consecrated on the 7th of June 1889.

The organ is from the same year the church was built and was made by Danish Claus Jensen from Schleswig-Holstein.

The church has a cemetery that was renovated in December 2007 (although located some distance away from the church). It's probably the first time in Trondheim's history that a former cemetery came into use again.
