The Urnes style is typical of a variety of jewellery found at the end of the Viking Age in the northern region from Ireland to Russia. The Urnes Stave Church is located in the Norwegian village of Ornes near the Sognefjord and was built around the year 1100.
It is considered the oldest stave church in the world. The Urnes Stave Church remarkably combines the traditions of Viking art with Celtic influences and the architectural forms of Romanticism and gave its name to an entire art movement, the Urnes style.
