Skaga stave church information


The reconstructed stave church in 2008.
A memorial made by locals in 1919, in remembrance of the church. The inscription says "Here stood Skaga chapel until the year 1826, everything is temporary, seek what is above [ie: in Heaven], the congregation raised the memorial, 1919".
The pulpit is made of a single trunk.
Even the silver bleak has been reconstructed and hangs above the pulpit.

Skaga stave church is a twice rebuilt medieval stave church in Tiveden, Karlsborg Municipality, Sweden. The original chapel was built in the 1130s during the Christianization of Scandinavia, but it was demolished in 1826 to combat persistent pagan practices in the area. The locals wanted their church back and worked for it to be rebuilt. In 1960, a reconstruction was inaugurated, but it burnt down in 2000. The following year, the church was rebuilt once again.
