This church is so beautiful 😍 the carvings are so detailed and beautiful. The location is a little hidden, you have to follow a path into the woods and all of a sudden... there it is. There is a little cost to get in and see it and there are bathrooms close by - that was nice. Definitely worth the trip there! ❤️

The stave church lies in a beech forest a few hundred meters from Fantoft Bybanestopp (Tram stop). It's a beautiful walk in a fascinating forest with beautiful trees and a calm and relaxing environment. The stave church is well secured for historical reasons, but it's still a beautiful building to behold. Very recommended for everyone who is interested in old buildings and calm and relaxing walks in the forests. Beech forests in themselves is also very interesting because of the trees.

Beautiful wooden stave church located on a hill in a wood a short-ish journey outside Bergen. Tip - don’t get off at the tram stop closest to the church but at the one before. The closest stop involves a steep hill walk. The stop before a far more flat walk. Services, weddings, christenings etc are still held at the church and you can’t visit during services so try and pick your visit time carefully.

The church has a very original look, interesting to stop by. You can walk inside. Expect buying a ticket to enter and take photos. While the original look was recreated by modern builders, unfortunately the old church burned down completely in 1992. No guided tours, but you can ask questions from the man/lady selling tickets.
