Odda Church

Odda Church (Norwegian: Odda kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the town of Odda. It is the church for the Odda parish which is part of the Hardanger og Voss prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The off-white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1870 using plans drawn up the architect C. Erichsen. The church seats about 500 people. History The first church in Odda was a stone church that was located about 50 metres (160 ft) the northeast of the present church site. That first church was built between the years 1250 and 1300. There may have been a wooden church on the site before that time, but that is not known. The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1309, but was not new that year. The stone church had a rectangular nave that measured about 13.2 by 10.7 metres (43 ft × 35 ft) and a narrower, rectangular choir that measured about 6.3 by 7.5 metres (21 ft × 25 ft). There was also a wooden church porch on the west end of the nave. During the 1850s and 1860s, there was quite a local discussion about whether to expand the old church or to tear it down and build a new church. In 1869, the six-century old church was torn down. A new wooden long church was built about 50 metres (160 ft) to the southwest soon after the demolition of the old church. The stone from the old church was used as the foundation for the new church. The new church was designed by the architect C. Erichsen, based on the similar design for the nearby Øystese Church. The lead builder for the church was Askjel Aase. The new church was consecrated on 4 November 1870 by the Bishop Peter Hersleb Graah Birkeland. By the early 20th century, the graveyard surrounding the church was getting full, so a new cemetery site was chosen in 1930, at Berjaflot about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the south. A small chapel was built at the cemetery in 1934, called Berjaflot Chapel. In 1955, the church was renovated extensively using designs by the architect Torgeir Alvsaker. The restoration also included an addition to the north of the chancel in addition to new wall panelling, new windows, and new paint. Media gallery See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References

History For centuries, the Old Olden Church (then known simply as the Olden Church) was the church for the Oldedalen valley. By the 20th century, the old church had been deemed to be too small for the parish. Discussions were held on whether or not to renovate, expand, or replace the old church. The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage and the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments both participated in the debate on the matter. In 1933, it was decided to build a new church on a nearby site and to keep the old church as a museum. The architect Daniel J. Muri was hired to design the new building. The new church was to be built on a site about 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) to the south of the old church. Construction began in the spring of 1934 and lasted for about six months. The new church was consecrated on 19 December 1934 by the Bishop Andreas Fleischer. In 1985, the main entry area was enlarged as well as the addition of bathroom facilities.

Some of the building furniture and structure was found scattered about the village afterwards. The following spring, the remains of the old church were torn down. It was decided that a new church should be built in a less avalanche-prone site. So, the new church was constructed at Fosnes, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the southeast in the village of Oppstryn. The new building was a timber-framed long church. It had a 15-metre (49 ft) long rectangular nave and a 6.5 by 6.5 metres (21 ft × 21 ft) choir on the east end of the nave. In 1863, this church was torn down and replaced with a new church on the same site. The new building was a wooden long church that was designed by Hans Linstow. It had a church porch with a tower on the west end and a choir on the east end of the nave. It was consecrated on 1 November 1863 by Rev. Wilhelm Frimann Koren. In 1908, it was discovered that the foundation under the tower base was failing, so a new foundation wall was built under the tower. In 1963, a sacristy was built on the east end of the choir. Also in 1963, a basement under the church was excavated to make room for bathrooms and equipment rooms for the cemetery. Media gallery See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Orkanger Station

Orkanger Station (Orkanger stasjon) er en jernbanestation på Thamshavnbanen, der ligger i byområdet Orkanger i Orkdal kommune i Norge. Stationen åbnede, da den første del af banen mellem Thamshavn og Svorkmo blev taget i brug 15. juli 1908 efter at være blevet indviet 10. juli 1908. Oprindeligt hed stationen Orkedalsøren, men den skiftede navn til Orkanger i 1920. Den blev nedlagt 30. april 1963, da al trafik på banen med undtagelse af transport af svovlkis fra Løkken til Thamshavn blev indstillet. Den trafik blev indstillet 30. maj 1974, og dele af strækningen mellem Orkanger og Thamshavn blev fjernet i 1993. Stationsbygningen blev opført i 1908 efter tegninger af Finn Knudsen. Det er en treetages bygning i nationalromantisk stil, der blev fredet i 1997. Senere stod dog ubrugt gennem flere år og var udvendigt præget af hærværk og forfald, men i 2014 blev den restaureret.

Ormøy (Færder)

Ormøy (også skrevet Ormø og Ormøya) er en ca. 12 hektar stor ø i Færder kommune, Vestfold og Telemark fylke i Norge. Øen ligger øst for Jarlsø og vest for Torgersøya. Den vestlige del af øen er den stejleste. Ved nordenden af Ormøy ligger Ormøybåen, der der boede folk fra ca. 1790. Den er forbundet med Ormøy med en smal tange som er opstået i løbet af de sidste par hundrede år. Ormøy er en del af Færder nationalpark, som blev oprettet i 2013. Ormøy nævnes allerede i 1207, da baglerne kom sejlende og lagde til ved Ormøy. De planlagde at overfalde kong Inge i Tunsberg, men hørte at han var i Oslo og sejlede derfor videre dertil. Øen er også nævnt flere andre gange op gennem historien, ofte som samlingssted for skipsflåder. Ud for Ormøy er der to registrerede skibsvrag fra 1900-tallet som har status som kulturminner. På øen er der også tre gravhøje fra bronzealderen, hvoraf alle er blevet udgravet eller plyndret. Den sydligste er den største, og har en diameter på omkring 12 meter. På det høje fjeld på den sydlige del af Ormøy er der fire bolte, hvoraf den ældste sandsynligvis stammer fra en optisk telegraf som blev opsat under napoleonskrigene. Den var i operation fra 1808 til 1814, som repeterstasjon nr. 77. Tre af boltene blev senere udskiftet så de kunne benyttes til et trigonometrisk mærke under anden verdenskrig. Kilder og henvisninger
Ormøy (Færder)

Ormøy est un petite île de la commune de Færder , dans le comté de Vestfold en Norvège. Description L'île de 0,12 km2 se trouve à l'est de Jarlsø et à l'ouest de Torgersøya (municipalité de Tønsberg). La partie ouest de l'île est la plus raide. À l'extrémité nord d'Ormøy se trouve Ormøybåen relié à Ormøy avec un passage étroit qui a été créé au cours des deux derniers siècles. Ormøy fait partie du parc national de Færder, créé en 2013. Ormøy est déjà mentionné en 1207, lorsque les baglers sont venus naviguer et ont accosté à Ormøy. Ils prévoyaient d'attaquer le roi Inge II de Norvège à Tønsberg, mais ont appris qu'il était à Oslo et ont donc rapidement navigué là-bas. L'île est également mentionnée plusieurs autres fois à travers l'histoire, souvent comme un lieu de rassemblement pour les flottes. En dehors d'Ormøy, il y a deux épaves enregistrées du XXe siècle qui ont le statut de monuments culturels. Il y a aussi trois tumulus funéraires de l'âge du bronze sur l'île, qui ont tous été fouillés ou pillés. Le tumulus le plus au sud est le plus grand et a un diamètre d'environ 12 mètres. Sur la haute montagne au sud d'Ormøy, il y a quatre boulons, le plus ancien provenant probablement d'un télégraphe à clapet qui a été installé pendant les guerres napoléoniennes. Il a fonctionné de 1808 à 1814, en tant que station répétitive n°77. Trois des boulons ont ensuite été remplacés afin qu'ils puissent être utilisés pour une marque trigonométrique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Ortnevik Church

Ortnevik Church (Norwegian: Ortnevik kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Høyanger Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ortnevik on the south shore of the Sognefjorden. It is one of the two churches for the Bjordal og Ortnevik parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The red, wooden church was built in a long church design and a dragestil style in 1925 using plans drawn up by the architect Lars Norevik, who lived in the village. The church seats about 292 people. History For hundreds of years, the parishioners living in Ortnevik had to boat about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) across the Sognefjorden to get to their parish church: Kyrkjebø Church. In the early 1920s, permission was given to build an annex chapel in Ortnevik for the people living in the southeast part of the municipality. The chapel was designed by Lars Norevik and the lead builder was Emil Geithus. Construction on the new chapel began during the summer of 1924. During the construction of the tower, a storm blew through the village one night and the partially constructed tower was blown off the church. It ended up in the field on the south side of the church and stood vertically in the ground as if it was planted there. Other damage to the building from the storm meant that the completion of the church was pushed back several months. The chapel was finally completed and consecrated in 1925. The new chapel was a large building, seating nearly 300 people, far more than the residents of the village. At the time of its construction, planners thought that the area would be prime for population growth, although the opposite came true. It had the status of an annex chapel until 1 January 1997 when it was upgraded to a parish church. At the same time the new parish of Bjordal og Ortnevik was created with Ortnevik Church and Bjordal Church being the two parish churches. This meant that all the people in Høyanger on the south side of the fjord now had their own parish. See also List of churches in Bjørgvin References
Ortneviks kyrka

Ortneviks kyrka (nynorska: Ortnevik kyrkje) är en församlingskyrka som tillhör Norska kyrkan i Høyangers kommun i Vestland fylke i västra Norge. Den ligger i byn Ortnevik på södra stranden av Sognefjorden. Den är en av de två kyrkorna för Bjordal og Ortneviks socken som är en del av Sunnfjords prosteri i Bjørgvins stift. Den röda träkyrkan byggdes 1925 som långkyrka och i drakstil efter ritningar av arkitekten Lars Norevik, som bodde i byn. Kyrkan har plats för cirka 292 personer. Historia I hundratals år var församlingsmedlemmarna, som bodde i Ortnevik, tvungna att åka båt cirka 14 kilometer över Sognefjorden för att komma till sin församlingskyrka, Kyrkjebø kyrka. I början av 1920-talet gavs tillstånd att bygga ett annexkapell i Ortnevik för de boende i den sydöstra delen av kommunen. Kapellet ritades av Lars Norevik och huvudbyggare var Emil Geithus. Bygget av det nya kapellet påbörjades under sommaren 1924. Under byggandet av tornet blåste en storm genom byn en natt och det delvis uppförda tornet blåste av kyrkan. Det hamnade på åkern på södra sidan av kyrkan och stod lodrätt i marken som om det var planterat där. Andra skador på byggnaden från stormen gjorde att färdigställandet av kyrkan sköts fram flera månader. Kapellet stod slutligen färdigt och invigdes 1925. Det nya kapellet var en stor byggnad med plats för nästan 300 personer, långt fler än invånarna i byn. Vid tidpunkten för bygget trodde planerarna att området skulle vara utmärkt för befolkningstillväxt, även om det motsatta hände. Det hade status som annexkapell fram till 1 januari 1997 då det uppgraderades till församlingskyrka. Samtidigt skapades den nya socknen/församlingen Bjordal og Ortnevik med Ortneviks kyrka och Bjordals kyrka som de två församlingskyrkorna. Detta innebar att alla människor på södra sidan av fjorden i Høyangers kommun nu fick sin egen socken.
