About Etne
Etne is renowned for its varied cultural history. In the Middle Ages Stødle was the seat of King Magnus Erlingsson. Although crowned when only five years old, King Magnus lived a short life, falling in battle at the age of twenty-eight.
It was King Magnus’s father, Earl Erling Skakke who in 1160 commissioned his own private chapel which became Stødle Church. Near the church is a burial mound and ring formations, evidence that Etne was an important site during the Bronze Age. Traces of early history are also to be found elsewhere in Etne. The Bruteig Stones in Stordalen have become one of western Norway’s most important archaeological sites.
Examples of the more recent past are also plentiful in Etne. Gjerde Church, SæbøtunetHamlet and the Post Road between Etne and Skånevik are but a few.
The village of Skånevik is best known for its timber framed buildings and decorative shop fronts. It comes as no surprise to anyone that Skånevik is often referred to as the ”Pearl of Sunnhordland”. Fjords, waterfalls, mountains and lakes are all only a short distance away.
