Heddal Stavkyrkje

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Heddal Stave Church is Norway's largest stave church, and has been called "a Gothic cathedral in wood". It was built during the 12th or 13th Century and the beautifully carved doors of the Church are representative of the flourishing period in the history of Heitradali, the old name for Heddal. The interior is decorated with traditional "rosemaling" and representations of the apostles.
An exhibition and café are located in the nearby barn, Prestegårdslåven. The church is still in use. |

nice building, nice colour, nice composition
Hello Eyal,
This is a fine piece of ancient wood architecture, very impressive!
Fine details have been captured, and the colour of the weatherbeaten wood is well reproduced...
A classic and well working composition!
Greetings,
Pablo -
Really nice shot, little snow on the roof emphasizes the texture of wooden building. Many TFS, Jalab

Excellent photo of an extraordinary church! I have not seen it, although I live so close - in Sweden. Must look up on the map, where this church is! Thanks for inspiring me with your photo!
