The first church in Sandvika was built in 1636. In 1790, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new building. In 1873, the old church was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed building. The church was designed as a long church in a Neo-gothic style with a nave and choir. It also has a sacristy on the north side of the choir and an entry porch on the west end of the nave.[4]
