Borgestad church, Heritage church in Skien, Norway.
Borgestad Church features white stone walls, an asymmetrically positioned bell tower, and architectural elements influenced by English country churches of the period.
The church construction began in winter 1903, funded by Prime Minister Gunnar Knudsen, and reached completion in 1906, with consecration occurring on May 24, 1907.
Emanuel Vigeland created the stained glass windows between 1918 and 1919, while Ulrik Hendriksen executed the interior paintings in 1921.
The church provides seating for 382 people and underwent electrical system improvements in 1957 during its fiftieth-anniversary celebrations.
The current structure stands on a site where historical records indicate the presence of an earlier church dating back to at least 1398.
