Gol
stave church was built in the "Borgund" style - named after the
church that still exists at Borgund in Sogne and Fjordane to the north,
which was built in about 1150. The 1880's was a bad time for the stave churches,
with many being destroyed to build new churches on the same site - perhaps
the echo of Viking Gods did not sit well with the church at the time.
The original church was dismantled (saved) in 1885 and is now a centrepiece of the Norwegian Folk Museum at Bygdoy in Oslo. The replica was built fairly recently.
