Cool church from 1130 AD. Entrance fee is about $9 which probably isn’t worth it, but you feel his helping to preserve the historic site. Gorgeous pics from the outside.

If you go here take some time with you and talk with the people working there. They know a lot about the church, the material, the inside pieces (altars, pictures, the grave, etc.) and there are many smaller hidden things witha meaning. Get in touch with them and ask them things. We were there for an hour and get so many things told it was like history class. Thank you so much to the team there!

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.
