Summary

[edit]
Description

The beginnings of this church date back almost 1000 years. Remarkably, much of the wood is original, including the wooden staves (or columns) which support the structure.

Photography is not permitted within the church, so unfortunately, I cannot show you the amazing painted wood carvings that ornament the inside.

This wonderful piece of history has been maintained so well, it has earned a place on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites.
