| Denmark | Where are these houses? Denmark? Sweden? 30 years ago Posted: Thu May 1, 2008 01:49 PM UTC
I took these pictures in 1977. It's in Sweden or Denmark.
Can someone identify them? http://homepage.mac.com/claudej/MySite/TheWorld/Eu |

I'll post the link on a Swedish forum I belong to. Hopefully they can shed some light on this.

To me this looks Norwegian. The photo of the church on the right hand side has the typical architecture of a Stave Church (stavkirke) which are found in Norway. Here is a link to Wikipedia where you can read a bit more about these stave churches: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stave_church

I posted the link and the question, and someone there said that one of the houses looks like Borgund Stavkyrkje in Norway, like Sim said.

OK looked through the photos at Google and found the stave church.
It's the one from Gol (Norway). On some pictures even the outside benches are there. But I'm not sure if it's the replica in Gol, or the one at the Oslo museum. Good. Now I know I still have some pictures of Norway. Anyone has ideas about the top left picture and the bottom picture?
