It is one of Norway's oldest and best-preserved buildings from the Middle Ages.
Inside the church you will find a large, decorated canopy from the 13th century, one of the oldest painted decorations we have in the country. It depicts, among other things, Mary and John in mourning and a number of symbols from Christian tradition. A mysterious human figure is carved into the floor which, according to tradition, marks the grave of an old bishop.
Torpo stave church is a rich historical and artistic monument, providing a rare insight into the faith and craftsmanship of medieval Norway.
