The Urnes style was used on a variety of jewellery towards the end of the Viking Age as a decorative element and was widespread in northern Europe from Ireland to Russia. The stave church of Urnes, in the Norwegian village of Ornes near the Sognefjord, gave the style its name.
It was built around 1100 and is considered the oldest stave church in the world. The Urnes Stave Church combines the traditions of Viking art with Celtic influences and the architectural forms of the Romantic period and thus gave its name to an entire art movement, the Urnes style.
