The church was built between 1200 and 1250, and is famous for its healing crucifix still in the church. According to legend it sweats once a year on "Olsok" (July 6th after the Julian calendar), and the sweat has healing power. Røldal was one of the most important sites of pilgrimage in Norway during the middle ages and pilgrims continued to come until 1835, longer than any other place in Norway. The church is beautifully decorated, and is still the parish church for Røldal. Guided tours during the summer season. There are several pilgrim trails in connection with Røldal stave church.

Our second time here and this time we got to see inside. It was awesome, definitely worth the extra trip out.

Stopped here on September 8th 2019 while out looking at some waterfalls. Sadly it was closed when we got there but looks very well taken care of, hopefully come back when it is open and see what is inside.
