Giske Church

Giske Church
Die aus Marmor (unter Verputz nicht zu sehen) erbaute Kirche stammt in dieser Form vermutlich aus dem 14. Jahrhundert.
Ursprünglich war hier die Privatkapelle der Adelsfamilie Giske, die Verbindungen zum norwegischen Königshaus hatte. Eine Tochter aus dem Hause Giske heiratete den norwegischen König Harald III. Hardråde, der 1066 bei Stamford Bridge fiel.
Später wurde die Kirche zur Pfarrkirche.

Originally the private chapel of the noble Giske family, the current church probably dates from the 14th century. The Giske family had ties to the Norwegian kings, one daughter married King Harald III. Hardråde who died in 1066 in the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
Later the marble church (the marble doesn't show under the whitewash) was used as a parish church.

Eine hübsche Kirche - vor Allem mit den Anbauten. Mir ist auch die recht Anzahl von Gräbern aufgefallen.

Gudrun club has replied to Percy Schramm club
Schönen Dank, Percy! Ähnelt sehr Trondenes Kirke bei Harstad, beide romanisch. Die Gräber sind ähnlich alt wie die um die Kathedrale in Trondheim, da kommt über die Jahrhunderte was zusammen.

Such a beautiful church and photo...........it seems the church is much older than it looks and I suspect that is because the original marble is whitewashed, which gives it a more modern look. I like the terracotta roof tiles and that beautiful shaped tree off to the right. I do wonder what the original marble walls look like!

The different perspective in the PiP is also beautiful..........I especially like that it gives us a better look at some of those amazing textured headstones.

Excellent work Gudrun

Thank you so much, Keith! The current church is Norman, the inside was changed several times later on. Sadly due to Covid restrictions it was closed. The marble came from the wider area, there is a quarry a bit further north! The headstones are often quite old, many 19th century and quite elaborate.

Danke vielmals, Uwe! Da hat's ein Marmorbergwerk nördlich von Molde, also nicht weiter als eine Tagreise entfernt. Die mussten nicht aus Carrara importieren;-)

That is such interesting information Gudrun, thank you.
Both pictures of this small church are beautiful.
I wonder why the marble was whitewashed!

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks very much, Rosa! I stronly suspect it had to do with the reformation;-) Protestants there tend to be rather pietistic and austere, even today there are still people who are categorically against alcohol!

Lovely old church, a very high roof.

Gudrun club has replied to Gillian Everett club
Many thanks, Gillian! The steep roof helps the snow slide down so the weight doesn't get too much.
