Rasmus Overrein
Rasmus Overrein (1815—1895) was a Norwegian builder and architect who built a number of churches in the Nord-Trøndelag area in Norway. Overrein was largely a self-taught builder. Starting around 1840, he began constructing buildings in the area of what is now Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county. In 1856, he used the designs of Christian Heinrich Grosch to build the Namdalseid Church. That church served as a model of many other churches that Overrein would go on the build in the future. Most of his other churches were a simplified design version of the Namdalseid Church: and simple long church with some sparse Neo-Gothic details. Works He built or renovated the following churches: *Egge Church *Henning Church *Kolvereid Church *Følling Church *Malm Church *Salberg Church *Kvam Church *For Church (tower) *Gimsøy Church Gimsøy Church ( no, Gimsøy kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vågan Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

Stod, Norway
Stod is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until 1964. It originally encompassed the northern part of what is now the municipality of Steinkjer, stretching from the town of Steinkjer to the northeast, along the lake Snåsavatnet, to the municipal border with Snåsa. Over time, however, the municipality was reduced in size to just a fraction of its original size, leaving just the area between the Snåsavatnet in the north to the Ogndalen valley in the south. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Binde. The main church for Stod was For Church, located just south of the administrative center. The local sports team is Stod IL. Stod is best known for rock carvings in the Bølareinen field that are approximately 6000 years old. The carvings are of animals and humans.
