Iglesia de Gamle Aker

La iglesia de Gamle Aker es el edificio más antiguo de la ciudad de Oslo, Noruega. Es un templo románico del siglo XI. La iglesia toma su nombre de la finca de Aker, una de las más antiguas de Oslo. Es nombrada por primera vez en el año de 1080, cuando era la iglesia de toda la región de Vingulmark. Probablemente fue construida por el rey Olaf III de Noruega, aunque algunas fuentes sugieren que la construcción podría remontarse a la primera mitad del siglo XII. Se trata de una basílica románica con coro, capilla lateral, ábside sin transepto. Su material de construcción es piedra caliza procedente de una antigua cantera donde ahora se sitúa el cementerio del Salvador, así como de las islas del fiordo de Oslo. Entre 1186 y la reforma protestante fue administrada por la comunidad de monjas del monasterio de Nonneseter. Desde 1587 pasó a ser propiedad del Castillo de Akershus y entre 1723 y 1849 estuvo en manos privadas. Fue transferida al municipio de Aker en 1849 y al municipio de Cristianía en 1852. Sufrió daños por varios incendios. Desde el siniestro de 1703 la torre y todo el inventario se deterioraron. A consecuencia de su ruina, se decidió demolerla, pero la intervención del municipio lo evitó. La restauración del exterior, que incluyó una nueva torre, se otorgó a los arquitectos alemanes Heinrich Ernst Schirmer y Wilhelm von Hanno en 1861. La restauración del interior no se realizó sino hasta el siglo XX, entre 1950 y 1955. En el emplazamiento de la iglesia hubo una mina de plata, que permaneció activa desde el inicio de la era vikinga. Esta mina es mencionada en Historia Norwegiæ en 1170 y es quizás la causa de que existan leyendas sobre tesoros y acontecimientos fantásticos en el sitio. El cementerio de la iglesia se ha utilizado desde épocas medievales, y sus últimas ampliaciones se llevaron a cabo en 1918 y 1929. Actualmente sólo pueden ser enterradas aquí personas que pertenezcan a la parroquia. Entre las personas relevantes sepultadas se encuentran: Enevold de Falsen (1755-1808). Jurista, funcionario y escritor. Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824). Religioso y predicador luterano, fundador del haugianismo. Christopher Hansteen (1784-1873). Astrónomo. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el sarcófago de la reina Maud fue resguardado secretamente en la iglesia de Gamle Aker.

Oude Aker-kerk

De Oude Aker-kerk (Noors: Gamle Aker kirke) is het oudste gebouw in de Noorse hoofdstad Oslo; het is de kerk van de in 1861 opgerichte parochie Gamle Aker. Geschiedenis De kerk werd destijds op het landgoed Aker gebouwd en voor het eerst in 1080 vermeld. Waarschijnlijk was het koning Olaf III die opdracht tot de bouw gaf. Voor de bouw van de basiliek met een koor, kapel, dwarsschip en apsis werd kalksteen uit de buurt aangewend. Tussen 1186 en de reformatie behoorde de kerk tot een nonnenklooster van de Benedictijnse orde. In 1587 viel het kerkgebouw toe aan de vesting Akershus, tussen 1723 en 1849 kwam het kerkgebouw in particuliere handen en ten slotte werden de gemeente Aker in 1849 en de stad Christiana in 1852 de eigenaar. Na een blikseminslag in 1703, waarbij het interieur, de oude klokken en de toren verloren gingen, raakte de kerk in verval. De gemeente Aker had in de 19e eeuw reeds het besluit genomen om de kerk te laten afbreken, maar de stadsuitbreiding van Christiana bracht de redding. De restauratie van het exterieur en de bouw van een nieuwe toren in de plaats van een kleine dakruiter vond in de jaren 1860 onder leiding van de Duitse architecten Heinrich Ernst Schirmer en Wilhelm von Hanno plaats. Het herstel van het interieur werd pas in de 20e eeuw uitgevoerd en volgde in de jaren 1950-1955. De kerk werd gebouwd over een oude zilvermijn, de Akersberg, die al in gebruik was sinds het begin van Vikingtijd. De mijnen worden vermeld in de Historia Norvegiae uit 1170 en gaven zeer waarschijnlijk de aanleiding tot de legendes over verborgen zilverschatten in de kerk en kerkers met draken. Van 1886 tot zijn bekering tot het katholicisme in 1900 voerde hier de Noorse theoloog Knud Karl Krogh-Tonning zijn ambt uit. Externe link (no) Website van de Gamle Aker Kirke
Austbygde Church

Austbygde Church (Norwegian: Austbygde kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Tinn Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Austbygdi. It is one of the churches for the Tinn parish which is part of the Øvre Telemark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1888 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 300 people. History Austbygde was formerly part of the Atrå Church parish, but it became its own church parish starting on 1 January 1888. Planning for a new church to serve the newly created parish began right away. The new church was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan and the builder Gulbrand Johnsen from Nes in Romerike was hired to lead the construction. The new Austbygde Church was consecrated on 23 November 1888. It is a wooden long church with a west bell tower built with log construction. The rectangular choir on the east is surrounded by vestries. The church was renovated in 1933-1934 according to plans by Domenico Erdmann. The church was extensively restored in 1985–1988.

Bjerkreim Church

Bjerkreim Church (Norwegian: Bjerkreim kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bjerkreim Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Bjerkreim. It is one of the two churches for the Bjerkreim parish which is part of the Dalane prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1835 using designs by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 410 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1388, but it was likely built during the late 13th century. The first church was located along the river Bjerkreimselva, about 100 metres (330 ft) southwest of the present church site. In 1628, the church burned down and it was replaced by a small timber-framed church. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. In 1835, a new paneled timber church was built a short distance to the northeast. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down and its materials were auctioned off.

It is located in the village of Feios, along the southern shore of the Sognefjorden. It is the church for the Feios parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1866 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 220 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new that year. The first church was likely a wooden stave church that was likely built during the first half of the 12th century. The church was a rectangular building with a tower in the west. The building measured about 22.5 by 7 metres (74 ft × 23 ft). Over the centuries, the church was renovated, but by the 1860s, it was decided that the old church would be torn down and a new church would be built on the same site. The new building was designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan in 1864 and Johannes Øvsthus was hired to be the lead builder for the project. It was a long church with a west tower, rectangular nave and choir with a sacristy extension. The new church was consecrated on 12 December 1866 by Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland.

Fet Church (Luster)

Fet Church (Norwegian: Fet kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fet in the Indre Hafslo area. It is one of the churches for the Fet og Joranger parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1894 by the master builder John Alver using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 220 people. From the hill where Fet Church is located, it is not long way away to the neighboring Joranger Church. Historians have often wondered why these two churches were built in the Middle Ages so close together. Jon Laberg, the author of the old local history book for Hafslo discussed the reason that Fet and Joranger each have their own churches, even though these farms lie near to each other. Laberg thinks that the owners of these farms could not reach agreement on a common church, so they each built their own church. Today, these two churches belong to the same parish. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but the church was built before that time. The first church was a wooden long church that was likely built during the 13th century on a plot of land about 100 metres (330 ft) east of the present site of the church. Around 1650, the old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new church on the same site. The new church was a timber-framed long church. In 1894, the old church was torn down and a new church was constructed about 100 metres (330 ft) west to a more stable building site since the foundation of the older church was sinking into the soft soil. The new church building was built by John Alver. The church was consecrated on 12 November 1894 by Bishop Frederick Waldemar Hvoslef. During the 1960s, there were some renovations. Heating work was improved so the church wasn't as cold and drafty, new flooring was installed, and a new roof was installed. About 20 years later in the 1980s, the church was enlarged to make room for a bathroom and sacristy on the northeast side of the building. See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Fluberg Church

Fluberg Church (Norwegian: Fluberg kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Søndre Land Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fluberg. It is one of the churches for the Fluberg parish which is part of the Hadeland og Land prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1703 using plans drawn up by the architect Oluf Mogensten. The church seats about 450 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1330, but the church was not built that year. The first church in Fluberg was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 12th century. This church stood about 300 metres (980 ft) to the southwest of the present church site, right along the shore of the Randsfjorden. In 1690, the rectory which stood next to the church burned down. It was rebuilt soon afterwards. Around the same time, the old church was in very poor condition, so it was also decided to tear down the old church and to build a new church. The old site of the church, however, was too close to the lake which made the soil quite soggy and inappropriate for building a church upon. It was also a small plot of land with little room for expansion, so it was decided to move the new church to a better site about 300 metres (980 ft) to the northeast. A contract for the new church building was entered into on 17 October 1700. The new building was designed by Oluf Mogensten and the construction was led by Nils Olsen. The new church was a wooden cruciform building with the north, south, and west wings making up the nave and the east wing was the choir. There was also a small sacristy on the north side of the choir. Construction took place from 1700-1702 and the new church was consecrated on Shrove Sunday (18 February) 1703. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. In 1860, the church was renovated. In 1923, the interior was restored and redecorated. Historical restoration also took place in 2003. Media gallery See also List of churches in Hamar References
Folkestad Chapel

Folkestad Chapel (Norwegian: Folkestad bedehuskapell) is a chapel of the Church of Norway in Fjaler Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Våge in extreme western Fjaler. It is an annex chapel in the Fjaler parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church design in 1913 by master builder Gerhard Folkestad. It was originally built as a prayer house (bedehus). History The building was constructed in 1913 by the builder Gerhard Folkestad. It was originally used as a prayer house as it was not originally consecrated for church use. In 1940 the building was enlarged and redesigned into a full chapel. The old building was remodeled to be the nave and a new choir was built to give it a long church design. The new building was designed to seat about 200 people. It was consecrated for church use on 4 September 1940 by Bishop Andreas Fleischer. During World War II, the occupying German military occupied the building, but some people in the village were able to salvage some of the interior furniture and items and save them from damage before the Germans took over. After the war, much of the chapel needed to be restored before it could be used once again. In 1983, a large new church porch and tower were built as well as some other rooms. Prior to 1991, this chapel was part of Askvoll Municipality (and the Askvoll parish). After a municipal border change, the chapel is now part of Fjaler Municipality.

Old Gaupne Church

Old Gaupne Church (Norwegian: Gaupne gamle kyrkje) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Gaupne. It was the main church for the Luster parish (which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin) until it was replaced in 1907. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design about 1650 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 130 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1306, but the church was not new at that time. The first church on this site was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the second half of the 12th century. Around the year 1647, the old church was torn down and replaced with a timber-framed long church. The new building (now known as the "Old Gaupne Church") was built using several of the parts from the old stave church, including the side planks of the western portals. These planks, dating back to the second half of the 12th century, are now one of the standout features of the church, infused with detailed carvings of snakes and dragons. The church construction began in 1647, but it likely wasn't completely finished until 1652. The new building had a nave that measured about 13 by 8.5 metres (43 ft × 28 ft) and a square choir that measured about 5.5 by 5.5 metres (18 ft × 18 ft). This "old" church was used from 1647 until 1907 when the new Gaupne Church was completed, about 460 metres (1,510 ft) to the northeast of the site of the old church. After the "new" church was in use, the "old" church was given for free to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments in 1909. After this, the church underwent some significant restorations, particularly with the foundation and exterior siding. The society cares for the site and the parish uses the church for special occasions. The Old Gaupne Church is now well known for the annual St. Olaf's Day service that is held there. The church interior now largely resembles its historic 17th-century appearance. The walls are richly decorated with drawings and Bible verses.

Hauge Church

Hauge Church (Norwegian: Hauge kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Lærdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lærdalsøyri. It is the church for the Hauge parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The wooden church is painted white with brownish-yellow trim. It was built in a long church design in 1869 using plans drawn up by the architect Christian Christie. The church seats about 500 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1340, but it was not new that year. The first church was a wooden stave church that was probably built in the 13th century. Hauge Church is named after the Hauge farm where it was located. The farm sits about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) southeast of the village of Lærdalsøyri. Around the mid-1600s, the old stave church was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed long church on the same site. This new building had a nave that measured 11 by 7 metres (36 ft × 23 ft) and a square choir that measured 5.4 by 5.4 metres (18 ft × 18 ft). Over time, the church was too small for the parish, so it was decided to build a new church. The new building would be constructed in the quickly growing village of Lærdalsøyri, about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) down the valley, closer to the fjord. The name Hauge was kept as the church name even though the church was no longer located at Hauge. The church was the only church with two towers in all of the old Sogn og Fjordane county. The towers sit on either side of the main entrance to the church and it gives the church an unusually monumental character. The new church building was consecrated on 6 May 1869 by Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. After the new church was in use, the old church was torn down and its materials were sold to use in building barns. Media gallery See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Holdhus Church

Holdhus Church (Norwegian: Holdhus kyrkje; historically called Hålandsdal kyrkje) is a former parish church of the Church of Norway in Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Holdhus. Although it is no longer regularly used, it is one of the churches that is part of the Fusa parish which is part of the Fana prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1726, although part of the building dates to 1618. The church seats about 90 people. The church is notable for its interior decorations. The walls are covered in Rosemaling, a type of Norwegian folk-art. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1306, but that is not the year of construction. The first church in the Hålandsdal valley was a wooden stave church and it was called Hålandsdal kyrkje. It was likely built during the 13th century. In 1618, the old choir of the church was torn down and a new timber-framed choir was built in its place. In 1726, the old nave was torn down and replaced with a new timber-framed nave which seated 90 people. This new nave was attached to the choir that had been built in 1618. After this, there were no more medieval parts of the church still standing. In 1890, the new Hålandsdal Church was completed about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the southeast. When the new church was built, this church was no longer regularly-used as a parish church. In 1889, the old church was sold to Hans H. Holdhus for demolition within two years, but in 1890, Holdhus sold it to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments. Since then it has been a museum called Holdhus kyrkje and it is still used by the parish for special occasions. The new owners provided a comprehensive repair and restoration project for the building in 1905–1906 which was led by the architect Schak Bull.

Holt Church

Holt Church (Norwegian: Holt kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Tvedestrand Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located just south of the village of Fiane. It is one of the churches for the Holt parish which is part of the Aust-Nedenes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, stone and wood church was originally built in a long church design around the year 1100 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect (later it was converted into a cruciform design). The church seats about 430 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1374, but the church was likely built around 1100. The Romanesque stone building was originally built as a rectangular nave with a narrower, rectangular choir.

The architect Lars Albretsen Øvernes led this renovation. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway.
