Oddernes Church, Heritage church in Kristiansand, Norway.
Oddernes Church features stone construction with rubble walls, a semi-circular apse, and an octagonal wooden bell tower that houses three medieval bells.
The church dates back to 1040, making it the oldest building in Kristiansand, and received funds from King Christian IV in 1635 for expansion.
The interior contains a collection of 44 segments on the minstrels' gallery depicting prophets, apostles, and allegorical figures from different periods.
Located at coordinates 58.159444, 8.013333, the church opens Monday through Friday during July and August, with appointments required in other months.
A runic stone positioned in the church porch provides evidence of the site's significance before the current structure's construction in the eleventh century.
