Church
From South Georgia Museum
Grytviken Church was brought from Norway and assembled in South Georgia in 1913. The Church was consecrated on Christmas day that year and the two Church bells, cast in Tønsberg, were first rung at midnight on Christmas Eve. The building was planned by Captain C. A. Larsen who set up the whaling station in 1904.
Restoration work has been carried out on the building over the years and it is still used for services by locals and cruise ship passengers, particularly at Christmas. The Church also houses a number of plaques and memorials relating to Sir Ernest Shackleton, a small library and a bust of Captain C. A. Larsen.
