Borre Church

The white stone religious building accommodates 300 people and features a rectangular nave with an eastern rectangular choir section beside Borrevannet lake.

The church dates back to 1100 CE, replacing an earlier wooden structure believed to have been established during King Olav Kyrre's reign from 1067 to 1093.

The church functioned as an election site in 1814 during Norway's first national elections for creating the Norwegian Constitution.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its Romanesque architecture with round arches and medieval stone craftsmanship.

The structure lacks windows on its north side and contains two historical portals on the south wall, including one specifically for the chancel.
