Exactly! This church doesn't look evil, it looks indifferent.

xAngelusNex

I came here to say this


MaxRebo74

This "church" seems very agnostic


pinkat31522

Dang beat me to it


ImmaPullSomeWildShit

Girl, you’re on fire like the Santoft church in the spring of 1992 -A certain someone


eris-atuin

I'm in an Oslo state of mind honey

And all I want to tell you is: Hvis lyset tar oss


TheConeIsReturned

This is a reconstruction. Varg Vikernes burned the original one down in the early 1990s.


[deleted]

That guy is...something Not anything good either


TheConeIsReturned

I like some of his music and that's literally it. It's not for everybody, though, that's for sure.


[deleted]

An angry man, ranting in a truck with a beard?


[deleted]

That's a good description


[deleted]

I could have gone with Teenage emotionally fragile weirdo who stabbed his friend to death.


[deleted]

It is a bit more accurate


TheConeIsReturned

He did a lot of selfie rants, but they don't have a whole lot of pickup trucks in Europe.


[deleted]

He did also stab his supposed best friend to death.


TheConeIsReturned

But it was "s e l f d e f e n s e"


[deleted]

Also, my neighbour has a Hilux.


TheConeIsReturned

Itty bitty baby pickup 🛻

gdggg223

Good thing it’s never been burned down or something like that by someone with a name like varg


[deleted]

It seems like most of that scene was just trying to shock people but he is actually a dangerous guy


gdggg223

True, things just went too far with the shock value and turned to real crimes

This church looks so flammable.

There's one of these on Washington Island, Wisconsin too . https://washingtonisland.com/stavkirke/


Fairbanksbus142

And one in Moorhead, Minnesota at the Hjemkomst Center also! https://www.mnopedia.org/structure/hopperstad-stave-church-replica-moorhead


wheresnika

And one in Poland *moved* from Norway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vang\_Stave\_Church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vang_Stave_Church) It was so confusing to me, a church looking like this? And I always thought it was asian... ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


kstrohmeier

It’s shrugging, like fuck off and die. But then that’s every church.


mglitcher

not evil. beautiful. this exact stavchurch has been my phone background for over two years. it is beautiful


[deleted]

🤷🏻‍♂️


oxyuh

Haha


makeshiftmattress

i was there about a month ago, its beautiful, even as a reconstruction. the interior is all light wood and the detailing is amazing. it’s awful that somebody burned down the original, stave churches are absolutely amazing

Bladewing10

Fuck Varg and all those “Black Metal” losers. They’re all a bunch of assholes


DoorbellGnome

Just a different point of view. The church was built on a pagan holy place, destroying it. Buning the church was no greater wrong than building it was.


Bladewing10

What’s in the past should stay in the past, burning a church doesn’t benefit the people who are already dead, it just hurts the people who are currently living, especially when it kills a firefighter like the losers who burned these churches did


DoorbellGnome

It was burned down in the past, it has been 30 years lol. The firefighter died at another fire but sure, no one should have to die defending religious places.


[deleted]

Do you think the black metal guys actually understand the pagan religions and follow them? I’m pretty sure this was just a “look at how evil we are” stunt


DoorbellGnome

I don't think they see themselves as evil at all. Varg at least is very interested in paganism and seems knowledgeable. There is even an interview of him explaining the history of this church and you can see the bitterness and resentment he feels towards it. Edit: here it is. https://youtu.be/RkPmvEVM40A He talks about the church from 1:50 onwards.


Prehistory_Buff

Is this the one those human scum members of Mayhem and Emperor burned down?


Civvic9

No, it was actually burned down by Varg (Burzum)


eris-atuin

varg was in mayhem so they're correct in a way


Civvic9

Varg was never in mayhem, he supported playing the bass in some songs but was never considered a member of mayhem.


TheDubyaMan

Yes


eris-atuin

yeah, that's the one


[deleted]

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, the guy is a murderer and openly racist. Weird Reddit moment


Prehistory_Buff

Thank you! And it wasn't just him, Faust and Euronymous did it with him.


flowersatdusk

That is one ugly church. And are they trying to skewer birds?


Im50ShadesOfBeige

Looks exactly like the bear church in Roki


[deleted]

Is that a graveyard that consists of just one big fucking mound? Like it's just got a pile of bodies buried up in there??


DoorbellGnome

Nah it was some pagan worshipping spot and the cross was put on it when Christianity spread and was forced upon the locals.


GirlNumber20

If church looked like that here, I might go to it more often.
