Rock formation where nature has carved out its own altar and pulpit. This is an ancient Sami sacred place called "Bohkegeargi" in Sami.
But even though 'Bukkekjerka' sounds like 'Buck Church' in Norwegian, the name has nothing to do with the concept of a church. "Bohki" is a Sami word for narrow space, a crack. "Geargi" is the Sami word for a rock. Such names often give rise to misinterpretations, which in turn become the source of legeds. Here legend says that the "bucks", which were thought to mean sea monsters "Draugen", showed up once a year to hold a church service - making this a "buck church".
Bukkekjerka has undoubtedly been a sacred place, where people made sacrifices to the gods, as evidenced by the sacrificial cave on the outside (coast) of Bukkekjerka. It was mainly halibut that was used as a sacrifice.
