UNDREDAL STAVE CHURCH
This
is a simple, small one-nave church. It is mentioned for the first time
in 1321, however, the year 1147 is inscribed upon the ceiling grinder.
This
indicates that the Undredal stave church is one of the oldest preserved
stave churches. The church was rebuilt in 1722. In 1962 it was
restored, at which time an interesting discovery was made.
Paintings of mythic animals, as well as many symbolic signs, were found to be underlying at least three other coats of paint.
Undredal Stave Church is situated in Aurland |
