The Hurum Church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and a lower, narrower choir with a semicircular end, the apse, to the east. In front of the west entrance is a wooden bell tower. At the foot of the tower is a porch. The church was renovated after a fire in 1686, and in 1849 it was extensively rebuilt. However, the present tower dates from 1885. The brick chapel of the Huitfeldt family was built north of the nave in 1750.
