Vår Frue Church, Art Nouveau church in Porsgrunn, Norway.

The structure features natural forms integrated into its design, with detailed wooden carvings and stained glass windows throughout the building.

Architect Haldor Børve, who established his practice in Porsgrunn in 1889, completed the construction of Vår Frue Church on October 8, 1899.

The church incorporates elements from traditional Norwegian architecture, including features reminiscent of medieval stave churches in its design.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and holds weekly services, with additional activities scheduled throughout the year.

The building represents one of several churches designed by Børve, who studied at Leibniz University Hannover and created more than ten religious structures.
