A stave church is a medieval wooden Christian church building in Norway. The name derives from the building's structure of post and lintel construction, a type of timber framing where the load-bearing ore-pine posts are called stafr in Old Norse (stav in modern Norwegian).

Nice shots, the building is well preserved and that is nice to see. The stave churches are sort of common, most are very old, 1200 years give or take

What a beautiful set. I visited Sweden and caught some good shot of churches. They are old and wonderful to shoot and you did a great job.

What an incredible piece of architecture. It is wonderful and so well kept. Thank you for capturing it so well and sharing it with us. The history is fascinating about the church's assembly by posts & beams.
It is truly unique in the world of such buildings.
