Rygge Church

Rygge Church stands with a long nave and narrower choir, constructed from large granite stones with carved stone cultivar elements in its facade.

Built around 1170, the church served as a chapter institution with greater income resources compared to regular parish churches in medieval Østfold county.

The church interior contains medieval architectural elements and structural features that represent Norwegian religious building traditions from the 12th century.

Located at coordinates 59.379693°N, 10.722452°E, the church remains an active place of worship within the Diocese of Borg.

The structure underwent significant restoration work in 1967, preserving its original medieval stone architecture while adapting to modern worship requirements.
