Once common, more than 1000 scattered across the countryside, with their unique style of architecture and construction, and they are symbolic of old Norway. Christianity was introduced to Norway around 1000 AD and about a thousand stave churches were built in the years that followed.

The original church was renovated in the 17th century when the distinctive red tower was added, and while the interior was painted white at one point, the original color has since been restored.

Ringebu Stave Church and the surrounding cemetery, amid hills and farmland, are strikingly beautiful, with immaculate grounds. A thoughtful touch is provided by the watering cans left at each tap for the use of people tending the graves, and these are clearly put to good use. Nearly every grave on the property has been planted with a small garden, and all are still lovingly maintained, making this a truly beautiful and distinctive resting place.

Traditionally built without the use of a single nail, they are composed of wood that has been skilfully swallowed, with vertical posts and wall planks resting on ground beams. Again, the use of tar to preserve the wood resulted in the loss and destruction by fire of many stave churches. Post holes have also been found here in Ringebu, indicating the presence of an even older church, with a cache of over 900 medieval coins found beneath the church, which have contributed to dating its construction.

Today, this monumental and restored rectory is a historic experience in itself. There are 5 buildings in the yard; the main building, two warehouses, staff quarters and an outbuilding.

Gateway Atna: If you are on route no. 3 from Elverum you can start from Atna and drive northwest. Here too you can choose whether you drive towards Hjerkinn or Alvdal.

FROM THE NORTH

Røros is tucked away in inland Norway, not far from the border with Sweden. It is not an undiscovered village, as UNESCO listed it as a World Heritage Site in the 1980s, but arriving in Røros feels like walking into a fairytale, as if time has stood still here. Colorful wooden houses with white snowy roofs. Horse and carriage pass with ringing bells. Everywhere you look it is white and every house looks like you want to live there. A village from a winter fairytale.

It's actually quite special that people live in Røros, because it can get incredibly cold here. The record is about 50 degrees below zero, but on average it is minus 30 here in winter. The reason that Røros is still inhabited has to do with the history of the village. Long ago copper was discovered in the ground here and that turned out to be the jackpot. Røros and the surrounding area are now on the UNESCO World Heritage List for the mining history of this area.

To get there, you have to make a long journey, because it also takes about three hours by road from Trondheim (the nearest large city), but the nice thing is that the journey itself is a special experience in itself.

The figurehead of Røros is of course the striking church that can be seen from almost anywhere in the village. It was a gift from the mine bosses to the inhabitants of the village, with exactly as many seats as there were residents at the time. Nice to see inside and out, but the real nice part of Røros is of course the small streets downtown. Behind every door there is something special: a store with warm clothing or home accessories, a coffee bar to warm up with hot chocolate or maybe you step into a Norwegian cafe. Anyone who has ever seen Pippi Longstocking's films may recognize one of the streets. Not all wooden houses in the village are inhabited, but most of the windows have a poinsettia and so there is life indoors.

The mining museum
For a long time, life in this area was completely occupied by the copper mines. In the museum, in the middle of the old town, you can learn something about this time. You can see how incredibly hard it was for the miners here, because they had to work hard under harsh conditions. It is part of the history of Røros and is well worth a visit!
