Stave churches are named for their wooden frame created by post and lintel. (In the Norse language, the word for the posts is "stafr".) These medieval church buildings were common in northwest Europe, however today, most stave churches still standing are in Norway.
During our 2016 cruise around Norway, we visited our first stave church. While in Rapid City during the summer of 2020, we visited the Chapel in the Hills, an exact replica of another Norwegian stave church. In addition to the stavkirke, the grounds included a Prayer Walk, log cabin museum and authentic grass- roofed Stabbur (a storehouse which today serves as a gift shop).
Where have you visited a stave church?
