Maihaugen Stave Church





Our field trip on Thursday included a tour of the Garmo stave church at Maihaugen in Lillehammer. The church was built in the late 1100's, but many of the interior decorations are from the 1600's. This was the first stave church that I have been to where interior photographs were permitted, so I thought I'd share a couple. I don't know if I'll ever get over that feeling of awe that I always experience whenever I step through the door of a building this old!
