Urnes is the oldest and best known of the Norwegian stave churches. Despite its rich sculptural program, complex building history, fine medieval furnishings, and UNESCO World Heritage Site status, Urnes has attracted scant scholarly attention beyond Scandinavia. Broadly speaking, the church has been seen to exemplify Nordic traditions, a view manifest in the frequent use of "Urnes style" to designate the final phase of Viking art. While in no way denying or diminishing the importance of local or regional traditions, this book examines Urnes from a global perspective, considering how its art and architecture engaged international developments from across Europe, the Mediterranean, and Central Asia. In adopting this alternative approach, the articles collected in this volume offer the most current research on Urnes, published in English to reach a broad audience. The aim is to reinvigorate academic interest and debate in not only what is one of the most important churches in the world, but also in the rich cultural heritage of Northern Europe.

Das Fachbuch präsentiert den aktuellen Forschungsstand hinsichtlich zeitgemäßer Methoden und Verfahren beim Umgang mit historischen Holzbauten. Es fasst die Ergebnisse einer Tagung von Bauforschern zusammen, die Ende 2014 in Prag stattgefunden hat und widmet sich den drei Hauptaspekten beim Umgang mit historischen Holzbauten: Bauforschung, Architekturgeschichte sowie Instandsetzung und Unterhalt. Vierzehn Forscher haben jahrhundertealte Holzstrukturen wie Kirchen, Bauernhöfe, Fachwerkhäuser und Blockhütten in Europa und Russland untersucht. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen entwickeln sie denkmalgerechte Maßnahmen zur Instandsetzung und zum Unterhalt von Holzbauten. Historische und aktuelle Fotografien sowie neu erstellte Zeichnungen dokumentieren die untersuchten Bauten.
