St. Thomas Church, Filefjell is the previous site of a medieval stave church in Filefjell, Norway. Little is known of its pre-Reformation use. It was, however, rebuilt in the early 17th century, and services were again held. Gradually, the church gained a reputation for having healing powers and people from far and wide came to be cured from their afflictions. Soon market days were established in connection with the church’s July 2 service. This however was the cause of much drunkenness, fighting and general unrest. In 1808 the church was torn down and sold at an auction.
In July 1971 a new church was built on the site of the old stave church.
