Urnes Stave Church is a historic wooden church located in the village of Urnes, in the municipality of Luster, in western Norway. It is considered one of the best examples of stave church architecture, a traditional Scandinavian building style that uses wooden posts (staves) to support the structure. The church is believed to have been built in the 12th century and is the oldest stave church in Norway that is still in use.

Urnes Stave Church has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 due to its exceptional architectural and cultural significance. The church is known for its intricate carvings, including figures of dragons and other mythical creatures, as well as its fine woodwork. It is also an important example of the fusion of Christian and pre-Christian beliefs in Norway during the medieval period, as many of the carvings are thought to have pagan roots.
