Sem Church, Medieval parish church in Tønsberg Municipality, Norway
The stone building features a long church design with a brick porch at the west end of the nave and houses 211 seats.
The church was constructed around 1100 on the site of a former wooden post structure, serving as a prominent county church in Vestfold.
The church retains its original pulpit from 1592 and an altar from the 17th century, reflecting the architectural elements of medieval Norway.
The church building underwent multiple restorations, including major works in 1690, 1770, 1924, 1955, and most recently in 2012.
A dedicated burial chapel, Det wedelske gravkapell, stands near the church and serves the noble family of Jarlsberg Manor.
