Geocache Description:




NORSK

Ulvik kyrkje ligg fint til ved fjorden på Brakanes i Ulvik sentrum. Kyrkja vart bygd 1857-1859, etter teikningar av slottsarkitekt Linstow, og i 1923 vart vart ho rikt dekorert av den lokale kunstnaren Lars Osa (far til felespelaren Sigbjørn Bernhoft Osa). Kyrkja er ein av svært få bygningar som står att på Brakanes etter 2. Verdskrig.

Kyrkja på Brakanes er den tredje kyrkja i Ulvik. Den fyrste var ei stavkyrkje som var bygd ovanfor prestegarden i fyrste halvdel av 1200-åra. Stavkyrkja vart riven i 1710. Dørstolpane med svært vakker skurd og eit måla antemensale, som viser Kristus mellom apostlane (rekna som eit av dei fremste kunststykka i norsk middelarlderkunst), er no ved Historisk Museum i Bergen. Altarkalken og døypefonten frå 1300-talet, samt ein kopi av antemensalet er i kyrkja på Brakanes. I 1710 vart det sett opp ei tømra krosskyrkje på same tomta som stavkyrkja stod. Denne vart reven i 1858, då den nye kyrkja på Brakanes stod ferdig.


ENGELSK

Ulvik church is situated next to the fjord at Brakanes in Ulvik centre. The church was built between 1857 and 1859, from drawings by the palace architect Linstow. In 1923, it was handsomely decorated by the local artist Lars Osa (father of the fiddler Sigbjørn Bernhoft Osa). The church was one of very few buildings left standing at Brakanes after the Second World War.

The church at Brakanes is the third church in Ulvik. The first was a stavechurch, built adjacent to the rectory in the first half of the 13th century. The stavechurch was taken down in 1710, however the beautifully carved doorposts and a painted alterfront, that shows Christ between the Apostles (considered to be one of the foremost artworks from the norwegian Middleages,) are now at the History Museum in Bergen. A chalice and the baptism font, together with a copy of the alterfront are in the church at Brakanes. In 1710, a new church was built on the plot where the stavechurch stood. This was dismantled in 1858 when the new church at Brakanes was completed.
