Borgund Stave Church ⛪︎

$apiData['content']['article']['title']

Borgund Stave Church was built around 1180 and dedicated to the Apostle Andrew. The church is very well preserved and is one of the most distinctive stave churches in Norway. Some of its finest features are the lavishly carved portals and the crosses and carvings of dragon’s heads on the roof!

The area surrounding Borgund Stave Church is rich in historic cultural heritage. Vindhellavegen, part of the Kings Road across Filefjell, is situated right by the church and offers beautiful walking possibilities.  Its a great place to visit in all weather and is really a must see. The entrance to the stave church is at the Visitor’s Centre opposite the stave church. There is an exhibition on the history of stave churches in Norway, restaurant and souvenir shop.
