wooden church
Carved log chapel
A wooden church is a church building constructed primarily of timber rather than stone or brick.
The term often evokes traditional Nordic stave churches or Eastern European Orthodox churches with their distinctive layered roofs and onion domes.
Wooden churches were common in forested regions where timber was abundant: The wooden church had stood in the village for three centuries.
