Fantoft Stavechurch was originally built around 1150 in Fortun, Sogn and moved to Fantoft in 1883. In 1992 the church was set on fire and almost everything burned down. The current owners financed the rebuild of the church, which is almost a replica of the old one. The challenge was that no-one had built a stavechurch in many hundred years. The rebuild was finished and sanctified in 1997. The name stavechurch derives from the building construction, where the loadbearing pinewood posts are called stav in Norwegian. THe stavechurch is located at Fantoft, about 6 km and 15 minutes with car outside Bergen and can be reached by both bus and the light train (Bybanen) from the stops at both Fantoft and Paradis. The location is uphill from both stops, shorter but steeper from Paradis. From both stops it is an about 10 minutes walk.
