About the artwork

The Gustav Adolf Stave Church (German: Gustav-Adolf-Stabkirche) is a stave church in Hahnenklee, a district of the German city of Goslar. The church is named after the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf.

Like the old stave churches, which originated during Christianisation and therefore still contain many pagan symbols such as dragon heads and snake symbols, the Gustav Adolf church also has many such symbols. Notable are the many references to shipbuilding. For example, the Gustav Adolf stave church has a chandelier in the shape of a steering wheel and the upper windows resemble cabin windows. The stave churches from Norway, with around 50 seats, tend to be smaller and, due to the lack of large windows, very dark.

In a ranking of the 100 most important buildings in northern Germany compiled by Norddeutscher Rundfunk, the church ranks 29th.

Until the early 20th century, the top floor of a former school building served as a church for Hahnenklee's Protestant community. With the development of tourist traffic in the area, this space became too small.

Construction began in 1907 and the consecration of the church took place on 28 June 1908. Borgund's stave church served as a model in the construction of the church. Because the Gustav Adolf stave church had to accommodate 350 worshippers, the church differs slightly from the original.
