Korskirken

Korskirken

Korskirken (lit. "the cross church") is a cruciform church in Bergen, Norway. Located at the intersection of the streets Kong Oscars gate and Nedre Korskirkeallmenning, it dates back to the latter half of the 12th century. The name of the church refers to the True Cross. Korskirken was first mentioned in Sverris saga from 1185. At the time of construction, the church was situated on the shore of Vågen, probably marking the southern border of settlement in Bergen. Korskirken was damaged in the fires of 1198, 1248, 1413, 1582, 1623, 1640 and 1702; the church originally had two towers, but one was destroyed in the 1582 fire and never rebuilt.
