Sandefjord Church

The original church where Sandefjord church stands today was a small, white wooden church from 1872. It was destroyed in the town fire in 1900, along with large parts of the city center in general. After the fire, today's Sandefjord church was built in brick, and was completed in 1903.

The interior of the church has subsequently been significantly renewed. The altarpiece was made in 1963 by Dagfinn Werenskiold, and consists of 17 fields roughly carved in mahogany. It is of considerable size and contains scenes from the life of Jesus.

Sandefjord Church is known for its good acoustics, and a number of concerts are organized both during the day and in the evening.

The carillon in Sandefjord Church is computer-controlled, and is of international standard. It plays every hour during the day.

The church is only open in connection with church activities and announced events, as well as Wednesdays in the summer.

The church has 600 seats.
