St Olav's source and Bergseng church

The pilgrims filled their jars in the hope that the holy water from St Olav's source would give them help and blessing over the mountain. Tradition says that this source especially gave health benefits to children. If children or their clothes were washed there, the children became strong.
The Bergseng church must have been built sometime before the Black Death in 1349 and was the parish church until the new one was put into use in 1736.

Bergseng church, first mentioned in 1407, was located down on the fields of Bergseng farm. It was demolished in 1736 when the new Dovre church was completed. We know that some of the interior was moved to the new church. Like the baptismal font which probably originates came from Svendgard Church, the baptismal dish from 1646, the communion chalice, the village flag from the 1650s and the altar.
