Geocache Description:


 

[NOR]

 

Sola ruinkirke er en gjenoppbygget middelalderkirke. Kirken var helt inn på 1800-tallet ett viktig seilmerke for Jærkysten.

Sola ruinkyrkje, også omtalt som Sola gamle kirke er bygget på restene etter en romansk steinkirke fra tidlig 1100-tallet. I 1871 ble kirken kjøpt av kunstmaleren Johan Bennetter (1822 - 1904) som gjorde den om til bolig. Store deler av kirken ble revet under 2. verdenskrig. Kirken ble deretter gjenreist og restaurert i 1995. Sola ruinkyrkje brukes i dag til konserter og andre sammenkomster, samt at kirken er en av regionens mest populære kirker å gifte seg i. Erling Skjalgssons kirke? Det er godt mulig at det her har ligget en tidligere stavkirke i tre, som har vært bygget av Erling Skjalgsson i tilknytning til hans gård på «Kirke-Sola». Plasseringen av kirken midt på Sola med utsikt mot Solastranden, havet, Rott og mot Hafrsfjord gjør dette til et naturlig sted å ha en hovedgård. I dag står det en stor bautastein som minnesmerke for Erling Skjalgsson like utenfor ruinkirken.

 

 

[ENG]

Sola ruinkyrkje is a rebuilt medieval church. The church was until the 19th century an important sailing mark for the Jæren coastline.

Sola ruinkyrkje (church ruin) also referred to as Sola old church is built on the remains of a Romanesque stone church from the early 12th century. In 1871, the church was purchased by the painter Johan Bennetter (1822 - 1904) who turned it into a residence. Large parts of the church were demolished during World War II. The church was then rebuilt and restored in 1995. Sola ruinkyrkje is today used for concerts and other gatherings, and the church is one of the region's most popular churches to get married in. Erling Skjalgsson's church? It is quite possible that this was a former stave church in wood, which was built by Erling Skjalgsson in connection with his farm at «Church-Sola». The location of the church in the middle of Sola with a view of Solastranden beach, the sea, Rott island and Hafrsfjord makes this a natural place to have a manor. Today, a large monument stands as a memorial to Erling Skjalgsson just outside the church.
