Hi,
Originaly i didn’t crosspost it to these locations, only to Architecture.
I uploaded some pictures of my latest building, build after the Stavechurch of
Heddal - Notodden - Norway, located at abouth 60 km West of Oslo. The original
church is from around 1250 and there’s still 30% of the original wood in this
building. Not one nail is used to fix the whole building.

To remain a minimum of ‘arches’ in the gallery, is it a bit larger build than
minifig scale. Otherwise i needed to modify a lot of bricks, something i don’t
like to do. For a picture of the real church, i recommend a Google picture surch
with the name ‘Heddal’ in the textbox.
The model is build after pictures and plans of the original church from 1953 -
1954. I would like to thank the Norwegian “Riksantikvaren” (Cultural Heritage)
for sending me a copy of the plans. http://www.riksantikvaren.no/English/
I hope you enjoy it.
Regards,
Ludo Soete

| Ludo, Very impressive! I saw a bunch of stave churches last Augst when I was in Norway, and remember thinking that building one would be a great LEGO project! Medieval Norwegian architecture seems to have things in common with older Japanese (...) (18 years ago, 7-Oct-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
