English: The present Fortun Church in in Luster Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway replaced a stave church which was built sometime between 1160 and 1180. The church was to be demolished in 1882, but consul Fredrik Georg Gade bought the building and saved it by moving it in pieces to Fantoft in Bergen in 1883. Now it is called Fantoft Stave Church. The original stave church was lost in an arson fire in 1992. Soon after, a replica was built on the same site, but virtually all of the old parts from Fortun stave church had been lost.
