Alstahaug Church is one of the oldest churches in Northern Norway. The old chancel dates from the 12th century, while the western part of the chancel, which was originally the nave, dates from the 13th century. The thick double walls are built from soapstone, and on the southern wall of the chancel, there is an ornate portal in the Romanesque style. During the 1860s, the church was radically expanded — the west half of the nave was demolished and the rest was used as a chancel. The old chancel then became the sacristy. During the 1960s, the church was restored, and the section dating from the Middle Ages was returned to its original condition. The interior of this section, including the altarpiece, is very old and has not changed much since Petter Dass was there in the late 1600s. So, walking here is just like a travelling into the time machine, as I felt.

Flott historisk kirke med flott utsikt mot de sju søstre.
Flott kirke og opplevelsessenter sør for Sandnessjøen. Flott beliggenhet, og gode parkeringsmuligheter.
Interessant, men kafeen stenger for tidlig.
Flott historisk sted.
Fisker presten Petter Dass er han fiskerne hadde det sorte lapp i mesanen for å ære og minnes han
