This is a follow-up post for one I wrote a month ago and an entry to Paula’s challenge. Read the story behind this stave church in the original post: The Stave Church @ Folkemuseet.

magnificent
Thanks Señor.
I was already impressed when I read the original post but these detailed pictures blow me away!
It shows great craftsmanship. It’s truly a shame that this technique has died out.
Amazing shots of awesome details…
Yes, the details are magnificent.
Attention to detail must have been a pre requisite for the work here ! Quaint
It’s a shame that they don’t build them like this anymore.
Brilliant! This works great for my theme today :D. Thank you, Cardinal!
Thanks Paula. I also thought that this post was perfect with yours. Hopefully I’ll have some more within the same theme for the next one in two months.

Thank you for posting these. I would like to illustrate these but sadly, couldn’t never do them justice.
It would have been cool if you did! I’d love to see the results.
nice details 🙂
I agree Joshi-ji.
Great photos. I love the architecture especially the doors.
Fantastic. Love the metalwork – very distinctive. But the overall design of the church looks like something out of a fairytale.
WOW! I have a whole different appreciation for this building now. The detail is stunning! Every photo offered something new to amaze … I would be hardpressed to pick a favourite.
Great idea to do a followup on your original post.
That’s absolutely delicious architecture. It’s high medieval Gothic meets Hansel and Gretl.
Nice photos with details of the church, that are difficult to see when you are standing in front of it, just looking at it. I went to the museum many summers ago and really enjoyed it!
Very interesting architecture and details.
What a wonderful and unusual building. Your photos are a visual treat.
Great details, and I’m really intrigued about the shape of the roof tiles; the type of echelon pattern they create, even on a curved surface. I’ve never seen that before in architecture.
If you ever get the opportunity, you should visit Norway to see some of the stave churches.
Very cool! There’s a few, I guess replica’s, of these around in my area I’d like to visit. Wonderful architecture you’ve captured.
Thanks. Yes, the architecture is magnificent.
Amazing pics, CG. Such an imaginative design and great workmanship. 🙂
Beautiful detail Cardinal!
Fabulous architecture, and fabulous photos!
love the ornaments… fascinating!!
