The stave church (stavkirke) in Heddal is the largest of its kind in Norway. Located just off the E134 road, a few kilometers east from Notodden and over 100 km from Oslo, it is a great place to organize a stopover. The church was built in the 13th century, and today it still holds services and special ceremonies, such as weddings. The church’s construction is based on 12 vertical, corner posts, which were then fastened with long boards (staves). The unique shape of the building consists of three towers and 64 roof surfaces. Inside, you can see the beautifully decorated 13th-century bishop’s chair, baptismal font, 17th-century altar and wall paintings.…
