Puerta Korskirken (Bergen) - Bergen, Norway - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

Double-leaf door, made of varnished wood with textile-like ironwork. It ends in a semicircular arch, with a corbel and plant reliefs above it.

"The church may have been started around 1130 and was finished in 1150. Repeated fires make it doubtful whether the current form and expression are representative of the original form. Very little was preserved of the church after the city fire in 1702. Korskirken may be Bergen's oldest standing church. St. Mary's Church is usually referred to as the oldest. Øystein Ekroll writes that St. Mary's Church and Korskirken are of equal age. The church is located below Kong Oscars gate and north of Nedre Korskirkeallmenningen."
