Haslum Church, Medieval stone church in Bærum Municipality, Norway

The white stone church features a cross-shaped structure with a long rectangular nave and multiple architectural elements from different periods.

Built around 1190 in Romanesque style, the church underwent transformation in the 1200s from a rectangular to a cross shape to accommodate more worshippers.

The church contains Renaissance altarpiece from 1631, wooden statues of Virgin Mary and Bishop, plus ceiling paintings created by Axel Revold in 1920.

Located at Kirkeveien 143 in Bærum, the church remains active for religious services and maintains its medieval bell from the 12th century.

By the year 1300, the church contained twelve separate altars, with some original figures now preserved in the University of Oslo Historical Museum.
