Ringebu Stave Church, Ringebu Norway

The Ringebu Stave Church is located in Ringebu, in the Oppland county of Norway. This church is one of the largest stave churches in Norway and dates back to 1220. It is where my great-great grandmother, Anna Larsen Stigen was christened in 1844. Many other ancestors were christened at this church. I visited there in December of 2004 and October of 2014.
