History
The original church is believed to have been built of wood during the reign Harald Gille who was king of Norway from 1130 until his death in 1136. The current church was built of gray-washed natural stone between 1270 and 1319 and was probably a church for a Franciscan order. Major extensions and extensions were carried out in 1690, 1804 and 1807–1809. It was rebuilt in 1806 and renovated in 1912.{{cite web|url=http://www.svenskakyrkan.se/torsby/marstrand |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140628170730/http://www.svenskakyrkan.se/torsby/marstrand |url-status=dead|archive-date=28 June 2014 |title=Marstrand |publisher=Church of Sweden |language=Swedish |accessdate=27 January 2015 }}

The pulpit is from 1691 and was built in baroque design. Rebuilding in 1852 has changed the pulpit into a more neoclassical style. An octagonal baptismal font with neoclassical design is made in 1912 after drawings by architect Ture Gabriel Schaar (1864-1945).{{cite web|url= https://www.vastsidan.se/sv/50750/Marstrands-kyrka/|title= Marstrands kyrka|publisher=vastsidan.se
