This is Avaldsnes church, or St. Olav's church, which was built around 1250 by the king Håkon Håkonsson. Avaldsnes was the centre of power during the Viking period, and the king lived here. They have made some major Viking period findings in the area and have also reconstructed a Viking farm, which is only a few minutes walk from the church.
