Vike kirkeruin

The ruins of Vike Church (Vike kirkeruin) are located east of Vikersund. It was referred to as the parish church in 1456, but is believed to have dated from the 1200s. The church was presumably abandoned around the Protestant Reformation. The walls stood until late 1700s, but later they are used as a quarry.

The foundations were uncovered and excavated in 1969-70 under the direction of Luce Hinsch. [7][8]
