Viking Stave Church

Christian churches were created in Viking settlements starting in the

12th century.

The Anglo-Saxon missionaries worked with native builders to create the

distinctive style replicated in this MOC.

The large stones at the foundation of the church were key to surviving

the freeze/thaw cycle of Scandinavian winters[1].

 

This was also my entry into

LOLUG's September Iron Builder contest.

The seed part was the dark, bley, round 2x2 tile that I used for the roof

as well as the steeple's cross.

This was the winning entry.

 

I borrowed the stonework from

Isaac S of InnovaLUG.
