Strictly speaking, the church is not a stave church. The original stave church was demolished in the 17th century and replaced by the present church without the mast construction typical of stave churches.

Vågå Church is a beautiful example of a Norwegian stave church, known for its unique and intricate wooden architecture. Originally built in the 12th century, the original stave church was demolished in the 17th century and replaced by the present cruciform church. It has since been expanded and modified over time, blending medieval and Renaissance styles. The church's detailed carvings make it worth a detour.

A beautiful little church, too bad it was closed and only open after 11 o'clock.
