Lom Stave Church: A Testament to Time

Lom Stave Church, constructed in 1158, is an enduring symbol of Norway's rich cultural heritage.

This church, still in active use, exemplifies Nevman architectural style with fascinating features such as extensive collections of 18th-century paintings and exquisite acanthus carvings. Originally built as a Gothic structure, it underwent reconstructions in 1634 and 1663, acquiring its present form with a cruciform layout. A significant restoration in the 1970s revealed ancient pilgrimage artifacts, including runes and over 2,200 coins, highlighting its historical importance.
