Nore stave church
The Nore Stave Church is a cruciform stave of the center pole type, which was originally built as single-nave stave church. It is located in Nore in the municipality of Nore og Uvdal in Viken ( Norway ). The creation is dated to the end of the 12th century. Parts of the construction were dated after 1167 according to annual ring analysis, but the church was likely built a few years later. As a result of renovations, the church has not been preserved in its original form, but is influenced by the Renaissance and Rococo .
The stave church has 150 seats and is located on Fv116 and Rv40 . Today the church belongs to the Fortidsminneforeningen antiquity association .
building
The rectangular nave is built in rod construction. The choir room and the transepts are designed in a log house. The transepts have apses and small towers, the central nave has a large octagonal roof turret . The peculiar thing about this stave church is that the single-nave, medium-masted structure was converted into a cruciform church in the Middle Ages. This is unique among the Norwegian stave churches.
The choir is the same width as the nave. In addition to a south and north transept, there is a vestibule, the so-called våpenhus (Norwegian = armory ). In the past, weapons were deposited here before the service.
There were a number of major renovations. In 1709 and 1714 the aisles were rebuilt, the choir was expanded in 1683. The church got the våpenhus in 1723 and the sacristy was built in the middle of the 18th century .
