Stave Church, Norway

 

Rendering of a Norwegian 'stave church' (for the Architecdoodlez
Wednesday art challenge on Twitter).

The oldest preserved wooden churches in Christianity, there were reportedly 1300 in existence, of which only 28 now remain. (Bucket list is to actually visit one of these in person someday).
