History
The first church in Tylldalen was a wooden church, possibly a stave church, that was built during the 12th century. This church was located about {{convert|900|m}} northeast of the present church site. It was fairly quickly replaced by a new and larger church on the same site, perhaps in the first half of the 1200s. Around the year 1381, the church was torn down and replaced with a new building. In 1598, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed building.{{Cite web |title=Tylldalen kirke |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/hedmark/tylldalen-kirke/ |access-date=2021-11-29 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Tyldal gamle kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=179991 |access-date=2021-11-29 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}
In 1660, the church burned down and a new church was built soon after, however, the church site was moved about {{convert|900|m}} to the southwest, closer to the main road through the valley. This church was built around 1660 and lasted until 1733 when it was torn down and replaced with a new building on the same site. Karl Brandvold and son Arne were hired to design and build the new church. The new building was consecrated on 2 March 1736 by the Bishop of Oslo, Peder Hersleb.{{Cite web |title=Tylldal kirkested |url=http://www.kulturminnesok.no/kulturminnesok/kulturminne/?LOK_ID=85693 |access-date=2021-11-29 |publisher=Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage |language=Norwegian}}
