Furnes is a village in Ringsaker Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village is located just west of the European route E6 highway, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the town of Hamar to the southeast and the same distance from Brumunddal to the northwest. Furnes Church is located in the village. It was built in 1707 using some of the stone from the Cathedral Ruins in Hamar.[2]
This village was the administrative centre of the old Furnes Municipality that existed from 1891 until 1964.[2]
