About This Item

Heddal stavkirke

Heddal stavkirke (Heddal Stavkyrkje) er en stavkirke i Notodden kommune i Telemark.
Kirken er antatt bygd i første halvdel av 1200-tallet. Rester av eldre byggemateriale, påvist ved dendrokronologiske undersøkelser, gjør at man antar at det kan ha vært en eldre kirke på stedet.
Konstruksjonen er en trearmet korskirke og er den største gjenværende stavkirken. Etter reformasjonen var kirken i en ganske dårlig forfatning og ble restaurert i perioden 1849-1851 Arbeidene som ble gjort medførte at en ny restaurering var nødvendig på 1950-tallet.
Kirkens interiør bærer preg av perioden etter den lutherske reformasjonen i 1536/1537 og de senere restaureringene.
Fra historikken rundt kirken er det kjent at den ble bygd av fem bønder. En av disse var Sira Eilif.
Min tipp-tipp oldemor er døpt i kirken.
 

Heddal stave church is a stave church located at Heddal in Notodden municipality, Norway.
The church is a triple nave stave church and is Norway's largest stave church. It was constructed at the beginning of the 13th century. After the reformation the church was in a very poor condition, and a restoration took place during 1849 - 1851. However, because those who did it didn't have the necessary knowledge and skills, yet another restoration was necessary in the 1950s. The interior is marked by the period after the Lutheran Reformation in 1536/1537 and is for a great part a result of the restoration that took place in the 1950s.
What is known is that five peasants together with Sira Eilif built the church.
My great-great grandmother was baptized in the church
