  • Stave Churches Are Unique to Norway. It Is Considered the "Most Important Example of Wooden Medieval Architecture in Europe." a Stave Church Is Made Entirely of Wood
    Stave churches are unique to Norway. It is considered the "most important example of wooden Medieval architecture in Europe." A stave church is made entirely of wood. Poles ("staver" in Norwegian) has given it its name. Most of the churches were built before 1350, but most did not survive since the supporting timber was placed directly into the ground and experienced rot and collapsed in time. <fjordnorway.com> The construction involved columns, planks and supports that were joined by dovetailing pegs and wedges with glue or nails. In the source, <ingebretsens.com> a thorough review of history and construction can be read. Stave churches have fine detail with a combination of Christian designs and pre‐Christian Viking themes with animals and dragons. It is believed that Norway had over one thousand churches. That number has dwindled to less than 25 today. The one we visited in Bergen, Norway can be viewed on acuri.net. The church in Rapid City is a replica of the Borgund stave church built in 1180 and was dedicated to the Apostle Andrew in Laerdal, Norway. It is still well preserved. From the <Chapel‐in the‐Hills> website, we learn the following about the history of this church: "It is the result of a dream of one man and the generous support of another...In the 1960's, the originator and preacher of the Lutheran Vespers radio hour, Dr. Harry R. Gregerson, was looking to expand the scope of his popular radio ministry. As his dream took shape, Dr. Gregerson realized there was the perfect location for his facility right in his own state of South Dakota in the Black Hills.

Prior to the War of 1812, an Indian runner was dispatched with a war belt of wampum with a request for the Dakotas and Chippewas to meet at the big bend of the Wisconsin River (Portage). While camped on the banks of the Lemonweir, the runner dreamed that he had lost his belt of wampum at his last sleeping place. On waking in the morning, he found his dream to be a reality and he hastened back to retrieve the belt. During the 1820's, the French-Canadian fur traders called the river, La memoire - the memory. The Lemonweir rises in the extensive swamps and marshes in Monroe County.

  • Borgund Stave Church
    BORGUND STAVE CHURCH BOOK TICKETS Facts Suitable for Available periods Everyone April 01-October 10 Description Borgund Stave Church. Photo: Håkon Li Borgund Stave Church is the country’s most authentic and well-preserved of its kind. It has been used as a model for the restoration of other stave churches. The timber for Borgund Stave Church was felled in winter 1180–1181, and the church is believed to have been completed shortly after. It is usually dated to sometime between 1150 and 1200. The earliest written record of the church is from 1331, then as «Mathios kirkia j Borghund». Today, it is believed that is was dedicated to St. Andreas. The stave church was in use until 1868, when new Borgund church was completed close by. Its churchyard is still in use. Most of the medieval construction technique has been preserved. It features a nave, chancel, and apse with surrounding portico, and with raised central nave and chancel with gable roof. Photo: Håkon Li There is also a detached belfry nearby, which today serves both the churches. This dates back to the Middle Ages, and is the only one of its kind left in Norway. Some of its materials are believed to be older than the stave church. The church stands on its original foundations. In 1969 and 1986, archaeological surveys revealed building material believed to stem from an earlier church. Today, the stave church is a popular tourist attraction and a national treasure. A visitor centre opened nearby in 2009. To access the stave church, museum, café, and toilet facilities, you have to buy a ticket at the visitor centre, Photo: Håkon Li Photo: Håkon Li the King's Road - Filefjell - Norway [email protected] Cookies information BORGUND STAVE CHURCH BOOK TICKETS Facts Suitable for Available periods Everyone April 01-October 10 Description Borgund Stave Church.

    HUNGARIAN ARCHAEOLOGY E-JOURNAL • 2021 SPRING www.hungarianarchaeology.hu MEDIEVAL NORWEGIAN WOODEN (STAVE) CHURCHES: BUILT HERITAGE AND PLACES OF MEMORY Kata Szilágyi1 – anette Sand-eriKSen2 Hungarian Archaeology Vol. 10 (2021), Issue 1, pp. 30–40. https://doi.org/10.36338/ha.2021.1.5 This paper focuses on the Norwegian medieval religious buildings called stave churches. The word stave (meaning ‘post, pole’ in Norwegian) derives from the buildings’ post and lintel construction, giving the churches their characteristic style. The structures display a highly developed tradition of wooden Christian buildings, which during the Middle Ages (1050–1500) where the most common in Norway, their number can be estimated at around a thousand. There were probably at least as widespread in other areas (e.g. on the territory of present-day Germany and Russia), but they did not remain in such a large number from the early period. However, the number have declined dramatically, and today only 28 are preserved. The article aims to expand the knowledge of the unique and irreplaceable wooden architecture of the stave churches. Although we consider the wooden churches to be one of the characteristics of Scandinavia tra- ditionally, they mix and carry the influences of other cultures and countries. The heritage and memorial role of wooden churches, as well as the motif of the combination of different architectural and religious elements, represent an interesting comparison to similar phenomena in the Carpathian Basin. Transylvania and especially the Maramureş region are also famous for their wooden churches and the rich carved and painted iconostasis. Keywords: North-Europe, Norway, Middle Age, Stave church, wooden architecture, Nordic style, cultural memory, cultural heritage WHAT ARE STAVE CHURCHES AND WHY ARE THEY SO SPECIAL?
