 Romanesque portal of Mariakirken, Bergen by evaanna I remember this enormous stone church stand in our way as we walked along one of the main streets of Bergen. It was truly imposing, so I thought I'd better take a picture of a part of it, the fantastic Romanesque portal framing the entrance. It was past four o'clock and the church was closed, another disappointment that day. So we didn't see the beautiful altar or the Baroque pulpit, which I found on the Web later. In fact, I had even forgotten the church's name and had to ask FletteMette for its name. Thanks, Mette. Mariakirken or St.Mary's Church is a basilica and dates back to the early 12th century, which makes it the oldest building in Bergen. Open: 15.05 - 15.09 - weekdays 11 - 16 16.09 - 14.05 - Tue. - Fri. 12 - 13.30 Admission: 10 NOK Leave a Comment

The fantastic church of Mariakirken was built in the 12th century with a Romantic-Norman style. On the facade you can see two high towers and a door with many decorations. Inside the church has got three aisles with square pillars. You can see very nice Baroque forniture with the fantastic pulpit built in 1676; over the altar there is a tryptic made by the Lubeck's school between the 15th and the 16th century. The church was used for century by the inhabitants of the Hansa and in the 1868 was celebrated the Holy Mass in Norwegian langauge. Leave a Comment Address: Bryggsaim

Mariakirken/St. Marys church was the church that the German Hansa used as their parish church. It has some remainders of that. Like many churches in Norway the interior was paintet with white chalch during the reformation, but some of it is pealing of. You can see it particulary clearly on the northern wall. If I were you I'd have a good look at the pulpit as well. Leave a Comment Directions: Inland from the Old Wharf. Walk towards Bryggen Museum/Rosenkrantztårnet and you will see it.

by bscott1 Symbolic of Bergen's early power and influence, St. Mary's church was built in the 12th century and posesses some Hanseatic influence from the 1600s. Leave a Comment
