The church as it stands today is made of wood, and was erected in 1792 in the Louis XV style. From the beginning, the church had a hemispherical dome instead of a spire, but this was changed in 1868 to the spire we know today.
The altarpiece from 1807 symbolizes the women at the cross, and was painted by Frederik Petersen.
Since 1929, the church has undergone a number of improvements, such as the installation of floodlights, electric heating and a baptismal sacristy.
Sandar church is protected, and only open in connection with church actions and other announced events. It is surrounded by a cemetery.
The church has 800 seats.
The original church where Sandefjord church stands today was a small, white wooden church from 1872. It was destroyed in the town fire in 1900, along with large parts of the city center in general. After the fire, today's Sandefjord church was built in brick, and was completed in 1903.
The interior of the church has subsequently been significantly renewed. The altarpiece was made in 1963 by Dagfinn Werenskiold, and consists of 17 fields roughly carved in mahogany. It is of considerable size and contains scenes from the life of Jesus.
Sandefjord Church is known for its good acoustics, and a number of concerts are organized both during the day and in the evening.
The carillon in Sandefjord Church is computer-controlled, and is of international standard. It plays every hour during the day.
The church is only open in connection with church activities and announced events, as well as Wednesdays in the summer.
The church has 600 seats.
