After the famous stave church of Urnes in southern Norway, the last of the great Viking art forms is now called the Urnes style, which dates back to the middle of the 11th century. At the Urnes church, marvellous carvings in this distinctive animal style were found, which have been perfectly preserved to this day.
The Urnes style is particularly typical of jewellery from the late Viking period, e.g. openwork brooches and brooches with wonderfully intertwined bodies, which can be found throughout the finds from Ireland to Russia. Urnes Stave Church was built around 1100 and is considered to be the oldest stave church in the world.
