Grip Stave Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:07:35

The island's stave church, much restored, dates from the late 15th century. Its altarpiece, discarded at the time of the Reformation, was found in a boathouse and restored to its rightful place in the 1930s. The lively frescos in the nave were revealed when later whitewash was stripped off.
