Stave Church Hitterdal

 
The stave church of Heddal (Hitterdal), which dates from the middle of the 13th century (restored in 1849-51 and again in 1952-54), is the largest of Norway's old wooden churches. It has fine 14th century wall paintings and a carved bishop's throne. The windows were inserted during the 19th century restoration work. The belfry stands opposite the church on the other side of the road.

Near here is the Heddal District Museum.
