Hurum Church (''Hurum kirke'') is the parish church for Hurum. This is a medieval era church dating from ca. 1150. The edifice is constructed of stone and has 150 seats. The original church was ravaged by fire the night after Christmas Day 1686. The following year the church received a new roof and turret. In 1849 the church was extensively rebuilt. The interior has undergone a number of changes in the course of time. The cemetery is surrounded by stone wall and has a chapel from 1938. Naval hero and native son, [[Ivar Huitfeldt]] (1665-1710) was buried in the church yard.  The pulpit was received as a gift from his wife, Kirsten Røyem  Huitfeldt (1671–1750).<ref>{{cite web|url=    https://runeberg.org/dbl/8/0161.html|title=  Huitfeldt, Ivar, 1665-1710|publisher=    Dansk biografisk Lexikon |access-date= September 1, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=     http://www.norgeskirker.no/wiki/Hurum_kirke|title= Hurum kirke|publisher =  Norges Kirker|author=  Sigrid Marie Christie, Håkon Christie|access-date= September 1, 2016}}</ref>
