Norway Torpo stave church
Torpo Stave Church is the only one in Hallingdal which is preserved on its original site. It is one of the oldest of the stave churches and is believed to have been built around the middle of the 12th century.
During the autumn of 1880, it was agreed that Fortidsminneforeningen The National Trust of Norway should take over what remained of the stave church on the condition that they maintained it on its present site. Since then, Fortidsminneforeningen has been responsible for Torpo Stave Church.
