Tingelstad
Tingelstad is a village in the Gran Kommune in Innlandet , Norway .
The name Tingelstads is derived from the Old Norse male name Þengill . Tingelstad is 5 km from the neighboring village of Brandbu and is close to the fourth largest lake in Norway, the Randsfjord, and the lake Jarenvatnet . The village has a connection to the municipal road Fylkesvei 240 .
In the place there are two churches, as well as another one, the Grindaker stave church ( Grinaker stavkirke ), which was torn down around 1866 because it was found to be too small. The preserved old church Tingelstad ( Tingelstad gamle kirke ) was built in the 13th century and was originally the parish church of the village. For a long time, the ship's flag from Tingelstad , a former ship's flag from the post-Viking era, was on the wooden tower of the church . The original of this ship pennant, which was last used as the church's weather vane , is now in the Kulturhistorisk Museum at the University of Oslo , while a replica of this vane is still on the church tower. There is also the Hadeland Folkemuseum open-air museum , which includes the Tingelstad Old Church . The new church Tingelstad ( Tingelstad kirke ) was built by the German architects Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and Wilhelm von Hanno in the 19th century and is the current parish church of the parish.
Furthermore there is the burial mound Halvdanshaugen , where, according to tradition, parts of the body of Halvdan Svarte ( Halfdan the Blacks ) were buried.
