From our cabin in Kaupanger -in west Norway, at the end of the Sognefjord- we visited the
Borgund Stave Church. This church was built sometime between 1180 and 1250 AD with later additions and restorations. Its walls are formed by vertical wooden boards, or staves, hence the name "stave church".
Four carved dragon heads look over the overhanging roofs; they resemble dragon heads found on the prows of old Norwegian viking ships.
Old and new graves in the church cemetery.
...what a gorgeous church, something that I would never see here. The cast iron gravestone in the lower right is wonderful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have never seen a church like that one. It is now a museum. A place worth visiting.
