It is known that Meldal had a church from the Middle Ages, but one is not sure where it stood. We do know that it was erected a new church in Meldal in 1651. This church burned down in 1981 and 7 years later, the present day church was built on the same site.

The present day church is much like the old one from 1651, both the exterior and interior of the church. The woodcutter John Mosand has made copies of the old interior, so when you enter the church you will experience how a new church would look like in the 17th century, with strong and vivid colours.
