Knud Knudsen (1832-1915) was one of Norway's first professional photographers and a pioneer within Norwegian photography. His work includes images of Norway in his time documenting much of Norwegian history and ethnology. His career spanned the period from 1862 to 1900. This approximate 8½" x 6½" Knudsen photograph documents the Fantoft Stave Church.
The original Fantoft Stave Church was built around 1150 at Fortun in Sogn village near Sognefjord. In 1879 a "new" Fortune church was constructed as a replacement for the medieval slave church. When the church was threatened with demolition, as was the fate of hundreds of other slave churches in Norway, consul Fredrik Georg Gade bought it and moved it to Fana, near Bergen in 1883. This photograph documents the rebuilt Church in Fana! In 1992 the church was destroyed by arson thought to have been at the hands of the members of the early Norwegian black metal scene.
The photograph is in very good condition.
