Vintage Fantoft Stave Church postcard

Fantoft Stave Church is a reconstructed stave church
in the Fana borough of the city of Bergen, Norway. The
church was originally built in Fortun in Sogn, a village near
inner or eastern end of Sognefjord around the year 1150. In
the 19th century the church was threatened by demolition, as
were hundreds of other stave churches in Norway. The church
was bought by consul Fredrik Georg Gade and saved by
moving it in pieces to Fantoft near Bergen in 1883

This is a photo of Stave Church before it was
moved to Bergen and became famous. The church
was rebuilt in Bergen in 1883 and the picture is taken
in 1873 before it was moved. On 6 June 1992 the church
was destroyed by arson, the first in a series of church
burnings related to the early Norwegian black metal scene.
Reconstruction of an exact copy of the church was
promptly initiated, and completed in 1997
