They are one of Norway’s oldest preserved timber buildings and its most important contribution to world architecture. Many of these structures were built using the same woodworking skills as the Vikings, with crafted joints and no nails or glue. It’s said there were over 1,000 stave churches in Norway before the Black Death infected Norway in 1350. Some historians believe there may have been over 2,000 stave churches in Norway at its peak, before the Reformation in 1537. Today, only 28 stave churches remain in Norway. The majority of these historical churches are located in the Fjords and southeast Norway.
