Fosen prosti

This deanery covers the Fosen peninsula in Trøndelag county. The area lies between the Norwegian Sea and Trondheim Fjord. It includes the municipalities of Osen, Åfjord, Ørland, and Indre Fosen. The deanery is divided up into 14 parishes. The deanery is headquartered at Stadsbygd Church in the village of Stadsbygd in Indre Fosen Municipality.

Originally, the Nordre Fosen prosti included the parishes of Bjørnør, Åfjord, Bjugn, and Stadsbygd while Søndre Fosen prosti included the parishes of Frøya, Hitra, Hemne, Agdenes, and Ørland. A royal resolution on 19 May 1922 changed the deanery names from "Nordre Fosen prosti" to "Nord-Fosen prosti" and "Søndre Fosen prosti" to "Sør-Fosen prosti". On 1 January 1972, the parish of Ørland Municipality was transferred to this deanery from the Sør-Fosen prosti. On 1 July 1999, the old Sør-Fosen prosti was dissolved and it became part of the Orkdal prosti. On the same date, the name of this deanery was changed to simply Fosen prosti.
