gOL STAVE CHURCH
Gol Stave Church is the main attraction in Gordarike. A faithful copy of Gol Stavkyrkje was started in 1980 and was consecrated by the bishop of Tunsberg in 1994.
While the original stave church stood high and free in the mountainside, the copy was built as a lighthouse at the village of Gol.

In Hallingparken you will first and foremost experience a faithful replica of Gol Stave Church - a sun-scorched, beautiful wooden temple with a magical atmosphere.

King Hadding's burial mound
It is said that it was King Hadding and his sons who ruled in Hallingdal in the time before Harald Hårfagre. The legend says that there was a battle between the two sons of King Hadding in Gol, and that one of the brothers fell. Therefore, today you can visit King Hadding's Graveyard in Gordarike, which is an exhibition about Vikings and legends from Gol.
