Larvik church, Lutheran church in Tollerodden, Larvik, Norway

The church structure features yellow brick walls, external buttresses, and a bell tower that stands near the Larviksfjorden shore.

Built in 1677 under Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve's initiative, the church served as an election station during Norway's first national elections in 1814.

Composer Arne Nordheim developed his musical interest in this church, listening to organ performances and participating in bell ringing activities.

The church accommodates 450 people and maintains regular services, with a basement area converted into a community hall in the 1970s.

Danish master Carsten Lund constructed a new organ in 1997, following recommendations from a committee led by Arne Nordheim.
