The black structure looks charred by fire. It was built in 1180 as the village church of Borgund, and belonged to Lærdal parish until 1868 when the "New" Borgund nye kyrkje (the red church) took over. The surrounding cemetery is also fascinating.

Detail of the entrance of Borgund stave church (Borgund stavkyrkje), Borgund, Norway. The build up of centuries of pine tar, applied to protect the timber, is why it looks so... "chunky"

Front door, covered with runes hundreds of years old, Borgund stavkyrkje.

The gorgeous Borgund Stave Church, straight from the Lord of the Rings and largely unchanged from the 12th century, blackened from hundreds of years of protective pine tar.
If you're going to see a Norwegian Stave Church, this is arguably the one to see. Beautiful.
