Lom stavkyrkje

Lom stave church (Lom stavkyrkje) is a medieval wooden stave church in the village of Lom in Innlandet county, Norway, with its main fabric dating to the 12th century. It is recognised as one of Norway’s significant and well-preserved stave churches.

The building displays characteristic vertical stave construction, complex joinery and decorated wooden portals. The interior retains medieval fittings and later historic additions; the church continues to be used for services while also attracting visitors interested in medieval Norwegian timber architecture.

The present church was constructed in the Middle Ages and has undergone repairs and conservation work in later centuries to preserve its timber structure. It has served as the local parish church for centuries and forms part of Norway’s national heritage of stave churches.

The church stands in the Ottadalen valley in Lom municipality, close to mountain routes and national parks in central southern Norway, and is accessible from regional roads serving the area.

• Architecture: One of Norway's larger medieval stave churches, notable for its well-preserved timber construction and carved portals.
• Visitor access: Remains an active parish church and a heritage site with seasonal visitor access and guided information in summer months.
