Saint Olaf's Church in Novgorod

[1] In addition to appearing on the Sjusta Runestone, Saint Olaf's church is also mentioned in two written sources.

The Acta Sancti Olavi regis et martyris was written by Trondheim's archbishop Eysteinn Erlendsson in the third quarter of the 12th century.

[1] It informs that a Latin priest named Stephan served in Saint Olaf's church in Novgorod (Holmegarder).

[3] There is also a draft of a German treaty with Novgorod which dates to c. 1230, and it talks of Curia gotensium cum ecclesia et cimiterium Sancti Olaui, which means "the Gothic court (i.e. Got'skij dvor) with Saint Olaf's church and cemetery".

[4] The Novgorod First Chronicle only talks of the church of the Varangians (cerky ... variaz'skaja na T"rgovišči).

The Sjusta Runestone commemorates a Varangian who died in Saint Olaf's church in Novgorod.
