Today's ArchiPic is the Heddal (triple nave) Stave Church in the municipality of Notodden in Norway. It is Norway's oldest stave church. Look at the layers of roof! :D This thing was built in the 13th century and has gone through a series of restorations that have changed it slightly from its original appearance.

Circa 1890-1900

That's very fascinating :) I like these kind of buildings: multi-roofed, old and multifaceted.
ReplyDeleteAnd especially lower picture has a great atmosphere in it :)It's mysterious somehow.
And upper photo shows the whole church in a great way.
Good choices, Zach :)
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows how much it would cost to build one of these in 2017.
