LOMEN STAVE CHURCH
The
church was probably built about 1250 AD. The building, which is
supported by 4 free standing inner columns, has lavishly carved
portals, chancel-arches and column heads (capitals). The church
correspond to the Høre stave church in the neighboring parish in form
and size.
Hvam or Kvam is an old name for Lomen perish, and was
during the 13-14-1500"s often used together with the name Lomen. After
1612 the name Kvam has not been used as the name for the perish, but is
preserved in the name of Kvams Road.
This is an old road,
running eastbound from Lomen stave church, through old farm courtyards
at Midt-Lome, Hauge and Ringestad, and almost in direct line over the
hill to Windingstad in Volbu, where it meets the old road to Hanekneet
on to Gausdal. Guided tours every summer.
Lomen Stave Church is located near Vaset. |
