Gol Stave Church

The old Gol Stave church dating back to 1200 was replaced by a new church in 1880. The Society for the Preservation of Old Norwegian Antiquities bought the church and presented it to King Oscar II. The sober church was restored to its original thirteenth-century form in 1884, and from It is worth noting that the missing parts of the building from the Middle Ages were inspired by the Burgund Stave Church.
