Stunning Medieval Norwegian Stave Churches
Urnes Stave Church, 12th Century
Urnes Stave Church is one of the 28 surviving medieval stave churches in Norway. Like other surviving stave churches, its construction on a stone foundation helped it survive for centuries. The church was also tarred every few years to protect it from harsh weather conditions which explains its remarkable black colour.
