The Borgund Stave Church, located in the village of Borgund, Norway, is an all-wood Christian church building from around 1200 AD. The photos below are present-day photos of this beautiful church! The building is coated in black tar (wood-derived) to help preserve its wooden boards and structure. This 800 year old church is more stunning than many chapel buildings in our day.
