Stave Church from Gol in Oslo, Norway

A stave church is a medieval wooden church with a post and beam construction related to timber framing. All of the surviving stave churches except one are found in Norway, but related church types were once common all over northwestern Europe. This is the Stave Church from Gol now found in the Folk Museum in Oslo, Norway.
