Vivestad church (Vivestad kirke) is located in Vivestad parish in Re in Vestfold, Norway. [1]

After the local parish church which had dated to 1628 burned down, the present church was built between 1913-14. The new church was built in wood and consecrated during 1914. The architectural design was by Carl Berner (1877-1943). The baptismal font, altarpiece and pulpit date from the original church. The two church bells were cast at Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry in 1911-1913. In the 1970s, Vivestad church underwent major exterior repair. [2][3][4]
