Tomb Kirke

Råde Municipality, Norway, Norway

---

Tomb Kirke in Råde Municipality, Norway, traces its origins to a medieval turf church dedicated to Saint Margaret mentioned in 14th-century records, tied to the powerful Tomb herregård estate.

A timber estate chapel followed in the late 1500s or early 1600s, damaged by lightning in 1768, with the current octagonal log church built in 1869 using local timber, seating 230 amid an oak grove west of the manor.

 Owned by the estate until Råde municipality purchased it in 1936, it retains treasures like a 1638 altarpiece by Knud Billedsnider, a 1682 oak baptismal font, Baroque crucifix, and Lützow family gravestones in a repurposed chamber.
