Garmo stave church

From
20 May

To
15 June

Every day during the museum's opening hours

Garmo stave church towers over the hill above the entrance to the open-air museum. It is the museum's most eye-catching building with its pointed tower and with dragon heads on the ridges jutting toward the horizon.

The church was originally built in the early 13th century and has undergone several expansions, the most recent in 1730, which gave it its distinctive cross-shaped layout. Originally located in Garmo, Lom, Gudbrandsdalen, the church was dismantled in 1880. However, the materials were carefully preserved, and the church was reconstructed at Maihaugen in 1921.
