Today there are two bridges built in cobblestone in Skodje, across the currents Skodjestrømmen and Eggestrømmen. The bridges were constructed in 1916-1919, and when the bridge across Skodjestrømmen was opened it was the largest stone bridge in Northern Europe at the time.
The bridge across Skodjestrømmen is unfortunately not suited for the amount of traffic that passes there today, and a new bridge opened the summer 2004. The old bridge will be preserved as a cultural monument.

Visit one of Norway's most remarkable churches at the island Giske. The saga island holds the famous Giske Church, built in the 12th century. Today the church is Norway's only marble church, and is still in full use.The church was built as a private chapel for the mighty noble family Giske, known as "Arnungane". The family was one of Norway's richest, and every other year the historical play "Giskespelet" is performed on an outdoors amphitheatre right by the church. The play tells us the story of how members of the Giske family were to play parts in important events in Norwegian history.There are a lot of dramatic stories connected to Giske Church, and the beautiful interior was made by the local craftsman "Tavle-Jacob" in the 18th century, after the church had been neglected for a long period of time. The symbolism in the colourful interior is both moving and grand, and a visit will give you a priceless insight into Norwegian church art in the 18th century.The church also has its own love legend, and there is a marble grave in front of the church where one of the unfortunate lovers is said to be buried
