Hedalen Stave Church (or Hedal Stave Church, Norwegian Hedalen stavkirke).
The church was first mentioned in documents in 1327, but it is probably older and therefore the oldest church in Valdres.
The church has a richly carved west portal with tendrils and animal motifs and an iron-bound door leaf.
