Fodor's Expert Review Chapel in the Hills

Hidden away in a residential neighborhood lies this most unexpected gem—an exact replica of the centuries-old Borgund Stavkirke in Norway. Rapid City's version, a high, angular, wooden structure, was built in 1969 as a place for the area's numerous Norwegian Lutherans to worship. If you're looking for a bit of calm, are a fan of unique architecture, love finding unexpected places, or want to take in a service, you won't be sorry. There's a prayer walk around the property, a museum, and a charming Nordic- and religious-themed gift shop.
