Stave church, Lom, Oppland, East Norway photo

Stave church, Lom, Oppland, East Norway

A stave church is a medieval wooden church with a post and beam construction, related to timber framing.

The load-bearing posts ("stafr" in Old Norse) have lent their name to the building technique.

All of the surviving stave churches except one are found in Norway.
