Lom Stave Church (Norwegian: Lom stavkyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Lom municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fossbergom in the traditional district of Gudbrandsdal. It is the church for the Lom parish which is part of the Nord-Gudbrandsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The brown, wooden stave church was built around the year 1170 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 350 people.[1][2][3]
The church is a triple nave stave church that uses free standing inner columns to support a raised section in the ceiling of the main nave. This type of church is amongst the oldest of the Norwegian stave churches. The church was built in a valley off of the main Gudbrandsdalen valley, about 60 kilometers (37 mi) west of Otta.[4] This stave church is one of a very few remaining stave churches where the original medieval crest with a dragon head still survives. This item was removed from the church in the 1950s and replaced with a copy, and the original is now in a museum.[5][6]
