Kvernes is apparently the youngest stave church in Norway (built ~1300). It doesn't really look much like a stave church anymore due to several rebuilds and repairs. Relatively close to the church grave fields, a historical Thing circle and some kind of phallus stone interpreted to represent some kind of fertility worship have been found. The Thing circle doesn't look that spectacular ... Stonehenge is definitely better but the view from the church hill is quite nice.
Well the stones are not so spectacular as Stonehenge but the view is definitely better!
