Lillesand Church (Template:Lang-no) is a parish church in Lillesand municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the town of Lillesand. The church is part of the Lillesand parish in the Vest-Nedenes deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in 1889 using plans by the architect Henrik Thrap-Meyer. The Swiss chalet style church seats about 490 people. This church was built in the town of Lillesand where there is no room for a cemetery, so the parishioners are buried at the Vestre Moland Church graveyard, just outside of the town.[1][2]
