From the norwegian (bokmaal) article:

Fortunkirken var blitt forandret en del i tidens løp og hadde fått et nytt kor av lafteverk, og den hadde et vesttårn fra 1600-tallet. Men på Fantoft ble alle senere tilføyelser utelatt og kirken ble rekonstruert slik man trodde den hadde vært opprinnelig. De delene som manglet ble laget slik en trodde de hadde vært og med andre stavkirker, spesielt Borgund stavkirke som modell. I 1940 dokumenterte arkitekt Kristian Bjerknes at rekonstruksjonen var basert på flere feiltolkninger.

Ad-hoc translated: The church at Fortun had undergone modifications over the years, including a new choir (second floor) built with logs and a western tower from the 17th century. At Fantoft, the later additions were omitted and the church was raised like it was thought to have been originally. The missing pieces were imagined and created modelled on stave churches, in particular Borgund stavkirke. In 1940, architect Kristian Bjerknes documented several errors in the reconstruction.
