Goingaryp, NL
The church in Goingarijp is one of the churches with its own clock chair. That makes the church special - even if the clock chair was often a choice of poverty. The stained glass windows are a special attraction for the many (water sports) tourists who visit this church.
Gol, NO
The Gol church, designed by architect Henrik Nissen, was completed in 1882, after the former Stave church in the city had to give way and was moved to Bygdøy kongsgard, in the area that is now the Oslo Folk Museum. The former Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, which was responsible for the moving of the stave church operation, donated the old building to King Oscar II.
Hahaugvegen, NO
The Gol Stave Church dates back to around 1200. Since 1884 the church has been owned by the ruling monarch in Norway since Oscar II (1872 - 1907) moved it to its open-air museum. It has four copies, two in Norway and two in the United States. The church is now a part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History.
