How this Stave church has survived 800 years, I will never know. If it were made of stone, maybe I could see it lasting a long time. But just wood? Amazing!

Norway is the only European country that has wooden churches from the middle ages, still intact. Boat and home construction in Viking times had combined art and woodworking together. So these structures weren’t just practical but aesthetically pleasing.

Norway’s oldest wooden stave church is Urnes Stave Church in Luster by the Sognefjord. It was built in 1150 and once served as a private church for a powerful family.

Ancient architecture like this is one of the reasons why Europe is so great to visit. America had it’s architectural marvels but nothing compared to this. I don’t think we have anything this old.

Take a look at the photos and marvel at these old stave churches. They have truly stood the test of time. Leave your thoughts in the comments section.
