Later Stave Churches and Replicas
Stave churches are a very popular phenomenon and several have been built or rebuilt around the world. The two most copied are Borgund and Hedared, with some variations, and sometimes with adaptations to add elements from known stave churches from the area. In other places they are of a more free form, and built for display.

Famous quotes containing the words stave and/or churches:
“Bribed with a little sunlight and a few prismatic tints, we bless our Maker, and stave off his wrath with hymns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
