Uvdal Stave Church (Uvdal stavkirke) is situated at Uvdal in the valley Numedal in Nore og Uvdal in Buskerud, Norway. The stave church was originally constructed just after the year 1168,[1] which is known through dendrochronological dating of the ore-pine used in the construction. The logs were not completely dry when the construction took place.
