Spydeberg Church is a long church dating from 1844. The original church on the site was a medieval stone church, probably built in the 12th or 13th century. This building was completely burnt down in 1841. After the fire, the builder Johan Fredrich Lühr was engaged to construct a new church. At that time, Lühr was involved in the work on the Oslo palace and worked closely with the architect Linstow.
