History
The parish of Bjugn was established by royal decree on 21 July 1852 with Bjugn Church as the main parish church and Nes Church and a new church in Stjørna as annexes to the main church. Permission to build a new church in Stjørna on the Hegvik farm (sometimes spelled Heggvik) was also granted at the same time. Hegvik Church is a long church built out of stone with exterior plaster covering the stone.{{Cite web |title=Hegvik kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=84523 |access-date=2021-05-09 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Hegvik kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/trondelag/hegvik-kirke/ |access-date=2021-05-09 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}
