Heddal Stavkirke - Norway - Country Churches on Waymarking.com

The Heddal Stavechurch is the largest and most famous stave church in Norway. It was build in the 13th century.

The Heddal Stavechurch is one of the most beautiful ones also. It's not only large, it has quite a lot of woodcarvings. Service is not often at this church. It's a large tourist attraction. For openingtimes see: (visit link)

Once there have been about 750 stave churches all over Norway. But only 33 left. Because they are out of timber, quite a lot of them burned down by accident, some of them also during the pest-age because of superstition.
