A home away from home Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Sjømannskirken - a home away from home (a.k.a Xmas#16 - 2008)


Sjømannskirken part an extension of the Norwegian Lutheran church, provides a social network, a meeting place, and in case of disasters, emergency services for Norwegians abroad.

For instance, every year around 10000 Norwegians visits the "Sailors church" in Christmas time, some for social gatherings where Norwegian Christmas traditions are kept, and some also attends church services there. visit link to VG

Sjømannskirken was founded in Bergen in 1846, and at the time was intended as contact point for Norwegian sailors. As time passed Norwegians were traveling more and more, and the focus have shifted away from sailors. The church is able to perform many functions abroad, weddings being particularly popular. Sjømannskirken has branches in 70 countries, but here at Bygdøy you can find one of the few domestic branches of the church.
