History

File:Magnor kirke TRS.jpg

In 1923, a prayer house chapel was built in the village of Magnor. It was consecrated for church use in 1924. The church is a typical wooden long church. The building is today titled as a church, but is technically an annex chapel that belongs to the Eidskog parish with Eidskog Church in Matrand as the main church rather than being its own parish.{{Cite web |title=Magnor kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=84374 |access-date=2021-12-28 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Magnor kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/hedmark/magnor-kirke/ |access-date=2021-12-28 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}
