Kapitelberget kirkeruin, 12th-century church ruin in Skien, Norway.
The stone walls of Kapitelberget church stand on top of a hill east of Skien, featuring Romanesque architecture with round arches and thick walls.
Built in the early 1100s as a private chapel for Bratsberg farm, the structure appears in records as a ruin since 1576.
The church represents one of only four crypt churches in Norway, demonstrating the architectural influence of Irish religious buildings on Norwegian construction.
Visitors can reach the church ruins by following Kapitelbergvegen 5, which leads to the elevated location offering views over the surrounding area.
The underground crypt beneath the church floor served both for conducting masses and storing religious relics during its operational period.
