Kviteseid Old Church (Norwegian: Kviteseid gamle kirke), historically known as simply Kviteseid Church, is a Romanesque stone church in Kviteseid in Telemark, Norway. It was built around 1260 and was the main church of the parish of Kviteseid for almost 700 years until a new church, now called Kviteseid Church, was built in the 20th century. Kviteseid Old Church is located near the lake Kviteseidvatnet.[1]
