4.5 (362 reviews) Monday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Minot Parks
Nice spot
This is a well-done spot for seeing some buildings, statues of some famous Scandinavians and items which were used in past centuries in the homes of Scandinavians. Buildings are in great shape, including the beautiful replica Norwegian church. The huge Dala horse is fun to stand under and take pictures of. Employees in the visitor center are helpful. Volunteers in the church and some other buildings are knowledgeable and friendly. No admission charged, but please leave something in the visitors center to help cover costs.

It was a great experience to get to admire this stave church
I traveled from California to South Dakota to visit the replica of Gol Stave Church in Minot. I have already seen the 28 remaining stave churches in Norway, Karapacz Church, the stave church from Vang, Norway, that was moved to Poland in 1842, and I had a glimpse of Chapel in the Hills, Rapid City, South Dakota, a replica of Borgund stave church from the 12th century. They are all wonderful and a great experience to admire. The original Gol stave church (1250) came from Gol in Hallingdal, but was moved to the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, Oslo, in 1884. The Gol Stave Church Museum was as beautiful inside as outside. Even the the carved faces of the old Viking gods were looking down on us from the rafters above. Everybody involved in the construction of the building did a terrific job. I salute you. However, I wish the church was tarred just as the old stave churches in Norway. It preserve the wood and they smell wonderful.
