Wikipedia
Hegge stave church (Hegge stavkyrkje) is an early 13th century stave church in Hegge, a village in Øystre Slidre municipality in Valdres, Norway.
The first recorded reference to the church is from 1327. Dendrochronological dating of some of the logs in the church, however, indicates that the church was built around 1216.
It is a basilica type church with 8 free-standing interior columns forming an arcade, surrounding a central area with a raised roof. The altar-piece was carved by a local artist in 1780. A runic inscription on the church reads: Erling Arnson wrote these runes.
