Veierland Church (Norwegian: Veierland kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Færder Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. It is located in the village of Veierland (on the island of Veierland). It is one of the churches for the Nøtterøy parish which is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1905 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 150 people.
History
The first church on Veierland was built in 1905 (it was originally called Veierland kapell, but later it was upgraded to the status of parish church). The new building was consecrated on 12 October 1905. The church has a choir inside the nave without a marked separation. A sacristy was later built on the east end of the building. For the 25th anniversary in 1930, changes were made to the west tower, the entrance, and the organ gallery. The architect for this project was Ahasverus Munthe-Kaas Vejre and the builder was Ludvig Hansen. Originally, the church was part of Stokke Municipality until 1964 when it became part of Nøtterøy Municipality. On 1 January 2018, it became part of the newly created Færder Municipality.
