Weekly Photography Challenge: 'S' Stavekirke Chapel

Stavkirke Chapel, or the Chapel in the Hills, was built in Rapid City in 1969 and is an exact copy of the famous 840 year old Borgund Church in Laerdal, Norway.  Found on the western edge of Rapid City, SD, the Chapel in the Hills is a quiet retreat open to all visitors. 

As a special ministry of the South Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), the chapel reaches out to all seeking solace, all who are looking for a place to experience God's peace.

The Stavkirke Chapel was originally built as the home for the Lutheran Vespers radio ministry.  Today, visitors from around the world find the chapel to be a place of beauty and inspiration.  If you are interested in learning more about the church, its history, or architecture, please find their website here.
