Svelvik Church, known as the locals as the “town’s Kirke”, was built in the 19^th century, after the medieval church that dated from the 13th century was destroyed, simply because it was not big enough for all the parishioners. The new Svelvik Church is much bigger, since it can gather not less than 700 people. But the older church was not completely destroyed – its alter painting can be found in the new church, and various items that used to be a part of the medieval church can be admired at the local museum.
