Kvitsøy Cross, Stone cross in Kvitsøy, Norway.
The stone cross rises 3.9 meters high on Kvitsøy island, marking a historical point at the entrance of Boknafjorden near Stavanger.
The cross dates back to between 800 and 1050 AD, when English missionaries or Viking chiefs erected it during the early Christianization of Norway.
The stone monument appears in the Snorre Saga, recording a meeting between King Olaf II of Norway and Erling Skjalgsson at this location.
The cross stands near Kvitsøy Church and the lighthouse, allowing visitors to explore multiple historical structures within walking distance.
The cross represents one of several large stone markers along Norway's west coast that guided maritime travelers through the fjords.
