Sandvik Church (Norwegian:Sandvikskirken) is aparish church of theChurch of Norway inBergen Municipality inVestland county,Norway. It is located in theSandviken neighborhood in the city ofBergen. It is the church for the Sandvikenparish which is part of theBergen domprosti (arch-deanery) in theDiocese of Bjørgvin. The brown, stone church was built in along church design in 1881 using plans drawn up by thearchitects Ernst Norgrenn andSchak Bull. The church seats about 500 people.[1][2]
In 1874, the Sandviken neighborhood was separated from theKorskirken parish to become its own parish. In 1876, the area became a part of the city ofBergen. Since the new parish had no church, a limited architectural competition betweenConrad Fredrik von der Lippe,Giovanni Müller, andErnst Norgrenn was held to determine who would design the new church. Ernst Norgrenn won and was hired to design the church, however, he died in 1880, before the church was completed. The project was completed by his assistant,Schak Bull. The large stone church was designed in aNeo-Gothic style. The church wasconsecrated on 30 December 1881. Originally, the church had asacristy on the north and the south side of thechancel. In 1903, the southern sacristy was enlarged to so that it was similar to the one on the north side. In 1917–1918, both sacristies were expanded according to plans by the architect Caspar Hassel.[3][4]
