  I just did a little google search on this amazing building and found a replica built in Minot, North Dakota USA. www.norskwoodworks.com/golstave.shtml -- Seen in your Photochrom Travel Views set. (?)

  And actually the Norwegian spelling would be "Gol stavkirke", and it is not located in Oslo, but in a city called "Gol"

  This is the church from Gol, but it was moved to Oslo (Christiania) in 1884, to be a part of King Oscar II's outdoor museum, now called Norsk folkemuseum (Norwegian folk museum). You can read more about it here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Exhibits/The-Open-Air-Museum/O... And here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Stories/Set-1/The-Stave-Church/

  Hi, this photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

  Gol does have it's own stavekirke now, which, bizarrely, is a copy of this one, that was built in the 1990s.
