Horten Church

Løvøy Chapel was built between 1250 and 1300. After the Reformation, the church fell into disuse, and it was not until 1720 that a restoration was carried out. We do not know how far the restoration went and it was probably never completed, because in the 19th century only the walls remained, without a roof or other protection. Work on the restoration of the ruin began in 1924 under the direction of Gerhard Fischer. In 1950, the church was opened for services.

The church in Borre is a stone church dating from the first half of the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Olav and St. Nikolaus. When the county of Jarlsberg was created in 1683, the church in Borre became the property of the count. It was not until 1900 that the church was purchased and given to the congregation. The church in Borre is a long church with a rectangular nave and a slightly narrower choir. The naves and choirs have gable roofs, and on the roof of the nave there is a turret. At the western end of the nave is a porch, at the eastern end of the chancel a sacristy. In the course of its long history, the church has undergone significant changes. In 1926-28, the church underwent extensive restoration work which still characterises the interior.

The "new church" in stone dating from the Middle Ages. It is a long church with a rectangular nave and a lower, narrower choir. In 1848 the church was given a tower at the west end of the nave, and in 1880 a vestry was built at the east end of the chancel. The church belonged to the county of Jarlsberg from 1673 to 1776, when 25 men from the congregation bought the church. It was not until 1877 that the church became the property of the congregation.
