Røyken Church

Røyken church is a medieval long stone church built of local red granite. The nave is rectangular, but relatively short, and the choir is exceptionally long. The sacristy on the north side of the choir was built in the 1930s and is decorated by Finn Krafft. The soapstone baptismal font dates from the 13th century and the two consecration crosses on the north and south walls of the choir are also from the Middle Ages.
