Nanset Church (Norwegian: Nanset kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Larvik Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. It is located in the town of Larvik. It is the church for the Nanset parish which is part of the Larvik prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg. The red brick church was built in a rectangular design in 1974 using plans drawn up by the architect Elisabeth Breen Fidjestøl. The church seats about 550 people.

History

In 1970, plans were made to build a new church in the northern part of the town of Larvik. Elisabet Fidjestøl won an architectural competition to design the new church with her plans which she called "Living stones". Construction began in 1973 and the new church was consecrated on 31 March 1974. The church was renovated in 2000.
