Olavskirken ruin
Olavskirken ruin eller Skeidi kirke er ruinerne efter en stenkirke fra før 1150 i Bamble kommune i Telemark fylke i Norge. Kirken har sandsynligvis været ca. fire meter længere end ruinerne antyder, og var i så fald Telemarks største stenkirke i ældre tid. Den havde en række usædvanlige bygningstræk, bl.a. lektorium og et eget rum for jordiske værdier, som i dag kaldes «Mariakapellet».
Helt til 1738 omfattede Skeidi Sogn Sannidal, Skåtøy, Kragerø og Bamble. Sandsynligvis var kirken hovedkirke i Grenland, en slags «fylkeskirke», og havde dermed højest status af alle kirkerne i området.

Ruin of Skeidi church, a mediaeval church dedicated to St. Olav, inaugurated ca. 1150. The church was built Romanesque-Norman architectural style and became the centre of Olav worship in the region. In 1846 the old church was partly demolished so its stones could be used in the foundations of the new church as well as for walls surrounding the churchyard.
