Flekkefjord Church is an octagonal church from 1833 in Flekkefjord in Vest-Agder, Norway. The church was built after drawings made by the architect Hans Linstow.
The church is built in wood and has 650 seats. It is characterized by Empire style, with galleries with audience seating on two floors along five of the walls. The altarpiece is a gold cross in an arch, flanked by columns carrying a gable. Also the pulpit is from 1938 and signed by Linstow. Today's church organ is built specifically for Flekkefjord church by Marcussen & Sons Orgelbyggeri in Aabenraa, Denmark, and was finished in 1983. The organ has 24 voices.[1]
