Stave churches were built in and around Scandinavia from the waning years of the Viking Age (11th - 12th century CE) to the beginning of the Early Modern Period (1500 CE). The technique of using vertical posts - or staves - to construct massive wooden buildings had been modified over time through several artistic and architectural waves and eventually became an iconic European art form. The Moorhead Stave Church is a full-scale replica of the Hopperstad Stave Church located in Vik, Norway.
