Description
Balestrand, Norway
St. Olaf's Church in Balestrand
St Olaf's Church (with dragon heads), also known as the English Church, is an Anglican church built in the style of a Stave church.
The church was completed in 1897 as a memorial to Margaret Green. Margaret, an English lady, came to the fjords as a tourist to hike the mountains. She met, fell in love with and married Knut Kvikne who was an avid mountain man. Being a very pious woman, she wished for an Anglican church in Balestrand. She started the church with her husband, but died before its completion.
