The Urnes stave church is gloriously located by the Lustrafjord deep in the Sogn region of Western Norway. It dates back to the first half of the 12th century. The church is the oldest of the 28 remaining stave churches. The woodcarving works in particular are elaborate. The carvings are unique and have given the church the fame it deserves.
