The Garder church is a long church built by the builder Andreas Keitel in 1881 according to the same designs as the church in Oppegård, but the church in Garder is slightly larger than the church in Oppegård. Christen Brun painted the altarpiece as a copy of the altarpiece in the church in Tyristrand.
