(Sat at 1P) Avaldsnes - Norge's vugge. Avaldsnes - Norges tusenårsted? Stedet ligger der i hvert fall, på Norges tettest befolkede øy, men allikevel åpent og innbydende. Og her blir det nok ikke utbygget med det første. Man regner faktisk med at det allerede var en kirke på Avaldsnes i 1024, da kong Olav Haraldson var til messe her. Den nåværende steinkirken ble bygget av kong Håkon Håkonson i perioden 1248 til 1263, og har detaljer som viser klar sammenheng med samtidige kirkebygg i Bergen. (Syd østre vegg) Kirken forfalt etter reformasjonen, men futen i Ryfylke, Holger Bagge, reparerte koret i 1560. Derfor finner vi hans og hans hustru's Christine Lavransdotters initialer på korgavlen. Kirkeskipet ble stående som ruin, men ca 1630 ble det bygget et treskip innenfor de delvis sammenraste murveggene. I 1725 - etter at kirken kom i privat eie, fortsatte imidlertid forfallet. Menigheten tok over kirken i 1830, og de iverksatte store reparasjoner
i 1839. I 1922 ble verket fullført ved gjenoppbygging av det
store tårnet i vest. Dette brakte kirken tilbake til sin opprinnelige
prakt.

Historians belive there was a wooden church already in 1024, when king Olav Haraldson attended service here. The stone church of today was built by king Håkon Håkonson in the period 1248 to 1263, and has details connecting it to contemporary churches in Bergen. (South east wall) After the reformation, the church was in decay, but the bailiff of Ryfylke repaired the choir (eastern part of the church ) in 1560. Thats why his and his wife Christin Lavransdatter's initials are one the choir wall (towards east). In 1725 the church was taken over by private owners, and the decay was extensive in this period. But, after the local congregation became the owners in the 1830's, it
was totally renovated in 1839. And - in 1922 , the original, large tower
in west was rebuilt. Finally, the church was back in its original shape.
