Stave Church, Norwegian Wood
Elaborately carved wooden churches were once present in many parts of northwest Europe. Today, they are almost exclusively found in Norway.
A stave church is made of wood, and the construction is made out of poles -staver in Norwegian, hence the name. Most of the remaining stave churches in Norway were built between 1150 and 1350
