medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Taking the risk of repeating what has already been said, but the Bergenhus Castle is of course a place to visit. In central Bergen, near the Bryggen Museum, you will find a very beautiful medieval stone church, the Mariakirken (St. Mary's Church). There are some other medieval churches, standing or ruined, for example the Olavskirken (St. Olav's), a.k.a. Domkirken, once a Franciscan church, where King Magnus Lagabøter was buried. There is no visible grave. Many royal graves, as well as the entire Kristkirken (Christchurch), were demolished during the Danish rule. Have a nice time in lovely Bergen.

Gol stave church in the Norwegian folk museum (it is not one of the most interesting stave churches, but is easy to get to and fairly typical) The best stave churches are Urnes and Borgund which are both up in Sogn and Fjordane. You'd need to hire a car - but the scenery is breathtaking, and the churches unique. In Bergen, the Bryggen area has a wonderful museum relating to the Hanseatic traders. Very close to Bergen there is also the Fantoft stave church, which has recently been reconstructed, having been destroyed in an arson attack about 20 years ago. If you have time, Trondheim Cathedral is really a must see (but not at the expense of the stave churches!). Have a wonderful time!

We are planning a holiday in Norway and have got as far as thinking that we will fly in and out of Oslo, doing a round trip to Bergen (perhaps coming back by train). I know that there are medieval wooden (?stave) churches that one should see, to say nothing of the Oslo Viking museum but really have little idea of where else one should go. Are there any must sees for medievalists?
