My Norwegian heritage served as the inspiration for this project. The iconic stave churches of Norway are incredibly interesting structures built throughout northwestern Europe around the 12th to 13th centuries. Most surviving churches, however, reside in Norway. The photos below are of one of Norway's most well-known and best preserved stave churches, Borgund Stave Church, located in Borgund, Lærdal, Norway. This particular church is a triple nave stave church and served as my primary reference during the modeling of the church shown above.
