Does it still have an active congregation or is it simply a museum now?

That church is entirely wood, isn't it? Dating from the 1100's and it hasn't burnt down???? WOW!

I was thinking the same thing Linda. Also the fact that the wood is so well preserved. No rotting or anything.

It's amazing... and a beautiful building.
