Rollag Stave Church

The wooden church stands on the east side of Numedalslågen river, featuring a cruciform structure with transepts added during architectural modifications.

Built in the second half of the 12th century, the church underwent substantial changes around 1660 when it was transformed from a rectangular nave into a cruciform design.

The interior presents art from multiple periods, including medieval decorations, a baroque altarpiece from 1670, and the first rococo pulpit in the Numedal region.

Visitors can join guided tours from June 13th to August 18th between 11:00 and 17:00, with adult tickets priced at 100 Norwegian Kroner.

The gallery parapet, painted in 1722, displays detailed motifs of Jesus and the apostles, while the walls reveal decorations similar to Nore and Uvdal stave churches.
