This early 12-century church is a wonderful example of Romanesque architecture.

Adjacent to Schotstuene (part of Hanseatic musem), this church was linked to the Hanseatic League. Gorgeous church to view inside and out. A must if you are interested in the history of Bergen.

This unique wooden stave church is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. Just a short walk from the light railway stop, set amongst woodland. Faithfully reconstructed after a fire, it is a marvel to see the design and its intricate details. The guide was very informative and well worth talking to. About its history and reconstruction. To just look at the outside is a mistake as the interior is stunning too. It is a consecrated church and popular for weddings. Interesting ancient stone cross also located there. Again, guide very interesting to talk to about it.
