Nøtterøy Church

The stone structure measures 33 by 11.5 meters and incorporates curved apse ends within its long church design, accommodating 500 people in its sanctuary.

The church dates from 1100 and changed ownership in 1673 when the Count of Jarlsberg acquired it before local farmers purchased it in 1770.

During the 1814 Norwegian Constitutional Assembly elections, the church served as a polling station where parish representatives selected delegates for Eidsvoll.

The church maintains regular Lutheran services and stands as an active parish within the Diocese of Tunsberg, operating under the Tønsberg domprosti administration.

Jacob Wilhelm Nordan's 1883 renovation transformed the original structure into a cruciform layout with a west tower and additional vestry spaces.
