It is located quite a ride from city center, and open only in summer. Not that i missed a lot visiting in April - just the appearance of it is what you need to see (or so I think, at least, having not been inside).

Just like the fjords and the mountains, Fantoft is a must see in Bergen. The church was built in 1150, moved to this place in 1883 and burned in 1992. It was rebuilt after, exactly like it was before. The church is located in a bucolic area with birds and if you are lucky you might see a squirrel as... More

An old (though built again not a long time ago because the former one was burnt down) church as they used to be built a long long long time ago. A must to see !!!

This reconstructed historical church lies in a beautiful forrest. Nice place to go for a sunday stroll.

We traveled at the fringe season, and the church was closed for the winter. I understand they're trying to profit off of this place, but it would be nice if they had some way of opening it up outside of the summer. The outside is nice at least...

My husband visited the Fantoft Stavkirke on same occasion as Edvard Grieg's house and museum. The Stavkirke is definitely NOT accessible by wheelchair users. There is a pleasant walk through woods so you need sensible shoes - lots of trip hazards if you are not too nimble! He said the reconstruction is brilliant.

This stave church is a reconstruction after a fire, but even so worth the visit. A slightly sinister edifice in a forest clearing. It reminded me of temples in Korea. Go and look. Take the Bybahnen to Fantoft and follow the occasional signs or ask.

Through the woods, on top of the hill is where I found the church. A masterpeace. Unfortunately, it burned down in 1992 and what we see today is the same church rebuilt. What a loss.
