Fåvang Stave Church

Fåvang, Norway

Fåvang stave church is a reconstruction of parts of other churches, built 1627-1630. The oldest parts can be dated to c. 1150-1250. Because it has been extensively modified, it is not counted amongst Norways 'real' stave churches. The altar and pulpit are of Renaissance style.

A lovely little church. The church was built in the 17th century in half-timbering, among other things from materials from the stave church. Referred to as a stave church, but is not a real stave church. Surrounded by farms, rural area
Det litt spesielle ! (4 years ago)
Cozy wooden church with good attendance from the locals. We were there on the 2nd of Advent 2020, at a service where the main theme was 4 year olds in the village, who each received a songbook from the congregation. Fun to experience the modest 4-year-olds who were called up, and who took part in performing songs for and with those present. We were greeted by 2 popular dogs who walked around the cemetery and welcomed you to Fåvang church.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
