Overall Ratings

Pilgrims from all the Nordic countries came here. The Reformation in 1536 put an official stop to the catholic pilgrimages to Lovoya but people continued to come to the well and church for years on. The church was in ruins for many years until preservation and restoration was initiated in 1882 and it was reopened in 1950.

A very beautiful stone chapel with great history. If you ever get a chance to go inside - take it. It is very beautiful. The Olavsbrønnen (Olavs Well) Outside is a place people throw a coin in for good luck
