Gol Stave Church
Architecture
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.

Runic inscription from Heddal stave church dating from the 13th century.

Runes
This runic inscription can be found in the covered exterior passage, on the fourth wall-board to the right of the south portal. The inscription consists of five runes, two of which, according to Professor Magnus Olsen, may be disregarded as mere decorative flourish. What remains are the runes for MRN - which can be interpreted to mean: Maria 1242. The church was consecrated on the 25th of October, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
