A primstav is a calendar stick that uses pictures to indicate the major non-moving religious holidays. The pictures on this one are rune-like. The oldest surviving primstav dates to 1457.
Gol Stave Church was moved to the Folkemuseum in the late 19th century. Only about one third of the surviving church was used (those parts that were thought to be medieval). The church that stands at the Folkemuseum now was modelled on Borgund Stave Church to reproduce the remainder. There are numerous runic graffiti in the church.
