The Stiklestad United Lutheran Church is a historic church in Brandrup Township, Minnesota, United States, completed in 1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for having local significance in the themes of architecture, exploration/settlement, and religion.[2] It was nominated as a symbol of the area's Norwegian immigrants and the role religion played in the cultural persistence of this and many other European enclaves that dominated part or all of many Minnesota counties, as well as for being a well-preserved example of Carpenter Gothic church design.[3]
