Fantoft stave church

Fantoft Stave Church ( _no. Fantoft stavkirke) is a reconstructed stave church in Fana, Bergen, Norway. It was originally built in Fortun, a village near inner (the eastern end of) Sognefjord around the year 1150. In the 19th century the church was threatened by demolition, as were hundreds of other stave churches in Norway. The church was bought by consul F. Gade and saved by moving it in pieces to Fantoft near (now in) Bergen in 1883.

On 6 June 1992 the church was destroyed by arson, the first in a series of church burnings related to the early Norwegian Black Metal scene. The fire was initially thought to have been caused by lightning or an electrical failure.cite news | first=Chris | last=Campion | coauthors= | title=In the face of death | date=2005-02-20 | publisher=Guardian Unlimited | url =http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,11710,1419364,00.html | work =The Observer | pages = | accessdate = 2007-10-06 | language = ]

Reconstruction of an exact copy of the church was promptly initiated, and completed in 1997.
