Another view taken in Norvegian Folksmuseum just outside Oslo, the stave church of the museum. The term of stave church comes from the building technique, where the wooden parts are assembled vertically rather than horizontally. Some more information about the technique below.

PS Elements 5.0

Some details from the website of the museum:
The stave church from Gol in Hallingdal was built about 1200. Around 1880 it was decided to replace it with a new church. The Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments bought the old church, and King Oscar II financed its re-erection at his new open-air museum. The Borgund stave church was used as a model for the restoration. The name "stave church" refers to the way the church is built. A "stave" is a wooden pillar or post which supports the roof. Churches were supposed to be high and lofty, and stave construction made this ideal possible to in wood. The west and south portals are carved with plant and dragon motifs. Carved masks at the tops of the staves are dimly visible by the light which filters in through the portholes. There are runic inscriptions carved in the choir wall, including the Lord's Prayer in Latin. These runes presumably date from the time the church was built.

Hi Emmanuel.Good shot and very interesting picture.Nice kind church.
Best regards, Bosko.

Bonsoir Emmanuel
La visite de ces Stavkirche reste un sacré moment d'un séjour en Norvège. Elles sont toutes comme celle-ci remarquablement conservées.
Une belle réalisation qui leur rend bien hommage.

Bonsoir Emmanuel,
D'abord une bonne idée. Conserver et reconstruire des bâiments qui sans cela serait soit abandonnés, soit détruits, un peu comme dans nos Ecomusées.
Ensuite un beau sujet, cette magnifique église de bois.
Enfin une belle photo à la netteté parfaite ce qui nous permet d'apprécier tous les détails de la construction et notamment l'utilisation de ces panneaux de bois qui recouvrent le toit.
Un beau travail documentaire comme on aime en trouver sur TE.
Excellente soirée et bonne semaine,
Roger

Bonjour Emmanuel,
Great photo of one of the prides and landmarks of Norway, a stave church. Good vertical composition and excellent quality. I like the pattern of all the roof tiles. The person was a nice inclusion too.
Regards,
Lars

Salut Emmanuel, belle vue de ce bâtiment qui fait penser a une pagode.
Amitiés.
Gilbert

Hi Emmanuel,

I’m sure that there are some slide of this “stafkerk” somewhere in my achieve, but I was never able to scan that image as well as you did it here.

Groet Rob

Hallo Emmanuel!
These are incredible buildings, beautiful and interesting. The architecture is so laborious! You show it from an impressive angle in a really sharp photo.
Greetings from springlike Germany!

WOW Emmanuel, original and splendid wooden architecture, great colors and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Emmanuel,
This ancient structure seems well maintained and with some impressive details!
Impressive is also the reproduction of details in architecture for instance the fine wood carvings...
Well framed and good colours!

A lovely picture, great to see an unique architecture style. Intricate details on the woood, the roof design is also so different! The sharpness & colours are spot on & the man allows us to understand the scale. Your note as always is very educative. Very good work!
