St. Olav's Church, Medieval church ruin in Bamble, Norway.

The stone walls of St. Olav's Church rise among the Norwegian landscape, featuring Romanesque-Norman architectural elements influenced by English design patterns.

Built around 1150, this structure served as the main church for the Grenland region until 1845 when a new church replaced it.

The church ruins include a designated Maria Chapel room, which stored valuable items and religious artifacts during medieval times.

Located near the old E-18 road, the site includes informative displays and remains open year-round with heating and lighting installations.

In 1988, a small chapel was established within the ancient walls, allowing modern religious ceremonies to take place among medieval ruins.
