In the late 19th century, the church was disassembled and relocated to the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo to preserve it. The Gol Stave Church is renowned for its intricate wooden carvings and distinctive medieval Norwegian design, featuring steeply pitched roofs and ornate dragonhead details.
