Kong Oskars kapell ved Grense Jakobselv
King Oscar II's chapel is located in Grense in South-Varanger, Finnmark. The chapel was erected as a border protection against Russia, after the Russians had not respected the Norwegian border after border upturn in 1826. It is a long stone church with 72 seats. It was consecrated on 26 September 1869 by Bishop Frederick Waldemar Hvoslef, and restored in 1992. The architect for the chapel was Jacob Wilhelm Nordan.
The card was sent from Finland.
