Just a wonderful place. We had the pleasure of a guided tour by the very knowledgeable Ann, one of the parishioners. Her historical knowledge was wide and comprehensive, putting the church in a wide geographical and historical context.
Beautiful, oldest wooden church in the world. Amazing! What can I say, Beautiful scenery around.cute church!
Remarkable historic wooden church, believed to be the oldest of its type in the world. Inside, the wooden roof structure is the real highlight, but there are other interesting details as outlined in the visitor leaflets. There's a table of goodies for sale - contactless payments are accepted and any purchases help contribute to the upkeep of the church. Outside, the churchyard is peaceful and well cared for. There are a few parking spaces over the road opposite the church yard for visitors.

Oldest wooden church in the world with some of the timbers dating to 750. Wonderfully glorious inside and all forms of payment acceptable for making donations. Do check out the lepers squint, a small hole at the back of the church where contagious parishioners could receive holy water blessings.
The oldest wooden church in the world. We were made to feel really welcomed, and I bought a jar of lemon curd from the table to help with church funds. I have visited several times over the years and always find it such a peaceful place.
