Hønefoss Church, Lutheran church in Hønefoss, Norway.

The new Hønefoss Church features a modern design with a low entrance at the western side and a prominent height towards the east, creating a distinct silhouette.

The original church, designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch in 1858, burned down in 2010 due to electrical issues, leading to the construction of the current building.

The church displays an eleven-meter-tall altarpiece by Peter Sutton, incorporating glass tiles and oak panels across 160 square meters with a cross motif.

The building contains a main church area, dining room, twenty offices on the ground floor, and additional facilities including a large kitchen and storage areas.

The fund wall reaches fourteen meters in height and conceals the church bells, while the main church space sits elevated above other facilities.
