The church from outside looks average stave church, but the real beauty lies the interior. Beautifully painted walls and ceilings, all dated 4p0 yrs. back . A 'must see' place when you're nearby Kristiansund.

The parking is located at the back of the church, which the access is about 100 meters away from the church, turn right onto Stavkirkevein, parking is at the end of the road. This stave church is unique, with about 5 supporting cross beams on each side. We didn't get to visit inside the church (closed since beginning of September), its exterior itself is beautiful and interesting enough for us, especially when compared to the modern white color church next to it.
Interesting. Good insight into the lives of those many generations ago.
A really beautiful old church. Kinda easy to visit if you are on the way to the Atlantic Ocean Road. Definetly worth going there and paying the entry fee. Tusen takk også to the kjekk norsk jenta who gave a really refreshing recap of the history! Ha de fint sammen!
It was in a bureatiful setting. The Church itself was not open. The TripAdvisor gave a location that was 2 miles away from the actual site. Google map pointed toward it's exit only road.
This is a very impressive old wooden church with a long history and a beautiful interior, painted and decorated over hundreds of years. It feels both old and intimate somehow, part of the warp and weft of the community it has served over these many, many years. I would love to visit without a couple of coach loads of fellow tourists but it was not to be this time. We were given a presentation by two charming young women in cloaks, who explained in excellent Norwegian, English and German to this gaggle of disparate Hurtigruten passenger nationalities, all about this lovely building. The location of this church and the new one nearby has a superb outlook over a wide panorama of fields, fjords and mountains. It is important when visiting that you do pause for a moment and look where you are. An interesting and rewarding visit. Thank you to the two young women who did such a great job and waved us off, full of smiles.
Not really much to see. Unless you're already going past I wouldn't digress from your itinerary to see this. It's a perfectly average church with some history behind it.
Pretty stave church, on the side of a new church. Unfortunately we got there too late and we couldn't get in, but I recommend to stop if you are passing by, the view itself is really pretty.
