Orre Church (Norwegian: Orre kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Klepp Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Pollestad. It is the main church for the Orre parish which is part of the Jæren prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger. The gray, stone church was built in a long church style in 1950 using designs by the architects Gustav Helland and Endre Årreberg. The church seats about 250 people.[1][2]

History

The church was built to replace the centuries-old Old Orre Church located in the nearby village of Orre.[3] This church was consecrated on 28 May 1950 by the Bishop Karl Martinussen.
