Rjukan Church, Lutheran church in Rjukan, Norway

The church features a cruciform layout with a large tower at its southwest entrance and accommodates 350 people in its main hall.

Architects Carl and Jørgen Berner designed the church through a competition in 1912, leading to its construction and consecration in December 1915.

The church maintains continuous services for the Rjukan parish within the Diocese of Agder and Telemark, representing Norwegian Lutheran traditions.

Located in the Einungsdalen estate near Ingolfsland, the church includes congregation halls and meeting rooms following its 1968 renovation.

After a fire during the filming of 'The Heroes of Telemark' in 1965, architect Asbjørn Stein reconstructed the interior with modern elements.

Location: Tinn Municipality

Architects: Carl Berner, Jørgen Berner
