Østre Porsgrunn Church, Heritage church building in Porsgrunn, Norway.
The wooden structure features Rococo architectural details with a modern tower and exterior tiles that reflect the city's porcelain heritage.
The original church, designed by architect Lauritz de Thurah in 1760, stood until 2011 when a fire necessitated complete reconstruction.
The building represents a fusion between traditional Norwegian church architecture and contemporary design elements, including porcelain-inspired materials.
Visitors can arrange guided tours of the church through advance telephone or email reservations with the parish administration office.
The 2019 reconstruction includes an exterior cladding of specialized tiles that creates a connection to Porsgrunn's porcelain manufacturing tradition.
