Details Of The Church Borgund stave church

Borgund church is one of largest and most ornate stave

churches in Norway. The high central room of the nave is

supported by free-standing posts which are braced internally

and against the lower side aisles. An external gallery runs

round the church, receiving its light from a low arcading. Infront of each door the gallery is pierced by an arched opening

giving access to the churchyard. The roof rises in three

stages, and the roof ridge of the middle section is crowned

by a turret, which also has a three- tiered roof. The church

bells hang in a free-standing belfry on the south side of thechurchyard. The larger stave churches were built along the

same lines as Borgund, and 15 of them remain intact.

However, many have been expanded and altered in the

course of time. Borgund, however, remains much as it was

when it was first built about 800 years ago.
