The stave curch

Went for my first little outing with my "new" car today and decided to visit one of Bergen's most popular tourist attractions: Fantoft stave church.

I love those churches! So much, that I got married in one! https://www.chapel-in-the-hills.org/about.html

@blueberry1222 Nice! I have been to Borgund Stave church but it is a while ago now (it was back i the days when we all shot film :-)

[Helena]

What a lovely church. Did you take any photos inside?

[Julie Duncan]

So mysterious and appealing! What is the significance of that mound of earth with the cross on top?

[Chris Cook]

Wonderful composition. I like the dramatic clouds.

[Helge E. Storheim]

@juliedduncan It is built to look like an old burial mound. The mound is fairly recent, but the stone cross on top is from the viking age (probably some time between 800 and 900 AD)

@helenam I didn't go inside today (it is a tourist attraction so you have to pay :-) I do have some photos from inside taken a few years ago. I'll see if I can find them.

Such a stunning capture of this unusual looking church! Beautiful composition and light.

[Judith Johnson]

What a stunning capture and scene. The location is rather magical

[Louise]

What a beautiful and interesting church.

[Boxplayer]

Such a beautiful structure.

[LManning (Laura)]

Gorgeous!

[Kartia]

Looks as though it could be straight out of a movie scene. Delightful.

[Ole Kristian Valle]

Veldig flott komponert. Jeg var der en gang med en gruppe turister for noen år siden.

[Korcsog Károly]

I like it! The people next to the church give a good comparison of the size of the building.
