Vikøyri

Vikøyri straddles the mouth of the Vikja River on the southern shore of the Sognefjord in Vestland, a position that links the settlement with the cultivated valley behind it and Norway’s longest fjord. Steep slopes rise above the village, while the fjord forms part of western Norway’s far-reaching network of waterways. Just south of the centre stands Hopperstad Stave Church, a wooden church from around 1130 and one of Norway’s surviving medieval stave churches. Vik is also home to Hove Stone Church, a Romanesque building dating from the 12th century.
