Fantoft Stave Church is a reconstructed medieval church located in Fana, Bergen, Norway. The original church was built in the 12th century in Fortun, a small village in the Sogn region of Norway, and was dedicated to St. Nicholas. In 1883, it was sold to a collector and was later purchased by the architect Peter Andreas Blix in 1891. Blix dismantled the church and transported it to Fana where it was rebuilt and restored to its original state.

The church is built using the stave construction technique, which uses vertical wooden posts to support the weight of the roof. The interior is decorated with intricate wood carvings and wall paintings that date back to the 14th century. The church has undergone several renovations over the years, including reconstruction after it was destroyed by arson in 1992.

Today, Fantoft Stave Church is a popular tourist destination and is known for its unique architecture and rich history. Visitors can take guided tours of the church and learn about its significance in Norwegian culture and history. The surrounding area also offers hiking trails and beautiful views of the surrounding fjords and mountains.
