Our excursion with Hurtigruten took us to this viewpoint where there is a wonderful view of the harbour and surroundings. Other passengers walked to it and we all agreed this place was worth visiting.

I read before being there about this church while I was doing my documentation for the trip. It made me curios, and it worth to visit it. First the person in charge was so nice to wait us to visit it as it was supposed to close. Unfortunately, He was not speaking English, for sure we should have get more information, but I remeber his kindness to let us share the beauty of this church. It is a modern church but If you read on visitnorway site you can have the information to know what to look for: the shape like the drying fish racks, the stainless glass behind the altar brings such a colored light that makes you fell joy and peace, the wood carvings on the organ wall, the stone mosaic behind the altar made from norvegian stones. Allocate half an hour and you will not regret it. It seems that also the reindeers love it as the are "parking" close to it for rest.
