Gol Stavkirke

Actually this is the replica of the original which was moved to Oslo and is now a part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. The oldest parts have been dated to 1212 but numerous renovations have changed the church over time. The present-day version is a reconstruction - it was impossible to restore the appearance of the original church so the missing parts have been rebuilt using the Borgund stave church as model.
