Gapahuk

At the local shore where people go for picnic and swimming during the summer half of the year, a shelter is now being constructed. The «gapahuk» will be open all year for everyone to use. It is being built the same way the fishermen and farmers at the west coast of Norway have built boathouses and barns for more than a thousand years!

Old Outhouse

Outhouses are buildings people among other things keep tools and firewood. In the old days people built their outhouse using different materials and different techniques. This is a picture of a very old outhouse near our school in Røvær.

Barn

In earlier days many families in Røvær had a small barn. Their main income was usually by fishing, but beside this they could have a horse, a cow and some sheep. People kept these animals to be self-supported with meat and milk. The picture shows a barn that was built many years ago. As what was (or is) common with barns, the owner stored hay at second floor, and the first floor were used as a stable.

Die Wotruba Kirche

The Church of the holy of holiest Trinity in Vienna, better known as the Wotruba Church, is located on the Sankt Georgenberg in Mauer in the 23rd District of Vienna. It was built between August 1974 and October 1976 on the basis of a model by Fritz Wotruba.The church startles at first glance, resembling more an enlarged piece of abstract sculpture. It provides visitors with the unique opportunity to enter into an art form more often viewed on a much smaller scale.Fritz Wotruba wanted to show that being poor is not the same as ugly, and that believing in God is wonderful even if it is in a very similar building.Lots of visitors have come to see that building even before it was finished.

The building consists of 152 asymmetrically arranged concrete blocks of a size between 0.84 m3 to 64 m3, the highest block measures 13.10m.
