GOL STAVE CHURCH
Constructed
about 1200 with staves (pillars) to support the roof. Pulled down and
moved from Gol in Hallingdal and re-erected in 1885 at King Oscar II´s
place, Badstubråten. An exact replica is built in the Medieval park on
Storøyni in Gol, Hallingdal.
The
church is in use. There is also a replica of a Viking chief´s house
from the 9th century, containing an exhibition of the gods of the old
pagan religion. The Stave Church is now part of the Norwegian
Folkmuseum, Bygdø in Oslo. Also a replica is built in the Norwegian Pavilion at the Epcot Center, Disney World, USA. |
