Absolutely fantastic! The church is almost 1,000 years old. It was rebuilt in the late 1800,s. I took pictures of the inner construction since I found that so fascinating. The entire outdoor museum was great.

The Hopperstad stavkyrkje is one of the three churches in Vik i Sogn. But it is the only stave church. A majestic matched copper beech grows next to it in the graveyard.

We stopped here on our way through to Balestrand. It's a lovely little church in a beautiful setting. We paid to go in and stayed about 20 minutes. There was a guide available to take you around and they also had pamphlets for you to read. It is a bit expensive but we bought a family ticket for 250kr which helped with the cost. I'm not sure it's completely necessary to go inside but if you have some time and are willing to pay the entry, then go. Otherwise you can get lovely photos from outside the grounds.

The drive to Hopperstad is a really beautiful mountain pass leading into the fjord and valley where the church resides. Drive carefully getting there and check weather conditions before you go as the pass can and does close for bad weather. Also note that the parking is just a pull off along the roadside near the church.

Beautiful example of stave churches in Norway, which is, if not the oldest, one of the very oldest available. The church is believed to be built around 1130 and keeps many well preserved details. When open (and after buying a ticket) you could access the inside area of the church and enjoy many details frontje period, among which a 1000 years old chest. The church stands in the beautiful typical Norwegian surrounding.
