Talk about accuracy.
Have you heard of Stave churches? When the Viking finally converted to Christianity (11th to 12th century) they certainly did it in style.
The churches themselves are made entirely of wood, often without even nails or screws. Their name comes from the unique post-and-lintel system used in construction—thick wooden posts known as “staves” hold them up. Many of the building techniques used to construct these churches were developed and honed through the Vikings’ revolutionary developments in shipbuilding.
There are still a number of them around for you to visit. Definitely worth your time.
