Olden Old Church
The old church at Olden, at the inner end of Nordfjord, Norway
Olden has two churches. The old one in the village was built in 1759 on the site of a stave church dating from around 1300. Its pew doors and jambs are made from timbers of the stave church. The "new" church, a short distance along the valley, was built in 1934 so that the old church could be preserved. There is no heating or lighting in the old church.
Photos of the interior of this lovely church follow in my photostream.
