Guided tour in Egersund Church

BYENS SIGNALBYGG
Spennende og interessant vandring med guide i dette eldste og vakre bygget i hjertet av Egersund!

In the center of the city, facing the sea, sits the beautiful Egersund church. People have come here by boat, horse, on foot or in other ways to celebrate religious services and life's great events for more than 800 years. To step into this building is to take a journey back in time and sense the inhabitants` belonging to community and life experiences.

Bli med inn i kirken og bli kjent med historien til dette unike bygget. Den starter allerede på 1200-tallet. Kirken er omtalt i et pavelig brev fra 1292 som Ecclesia sancte Marie de Eikundasund. På begynnelsen av 1600-tallet var tilstanden slik at bygget måtte rives, og ny kirke ble bygget samme sted. Siden har kirken vært ombygd, påbygd og renovert, og har derfor spennende stilelementer fra flere epoker.

See and hear the story of the beautiful altarpiece from 1607, the baroque pulpit and the richly decorated pew doors. Hear about the king who sold the church to private individuals, about the king who wanted to bring the pew doors to Sweden - and about the Danish ship's crew who presented the church with a beautiful silver jug as a thank you for saving them from distress at sea.

We welcome you to an exciting and interesting walk in this oldest and beautiful signal building in the heart of Egersund!
