The Marvel of History: Miracles of Europe and America (part 2)
About This Novel
The architectural culture of Nordic civilization is based on wood materials. As a legacy of Nordic civilization, the few preserved wooden buildings occupy an important position in the history of Scandinavian art. Compared with the Romanesque stone buildings developed at the same time, wooden buildings are particularly suitable for artistic decoration. The numerous wooden statues of religious figures are more likely to make people feel real due to their simple style. During that period, the myth of stone construction was deeply rooted in Western European civilization as a primitive concept of durability, and wood was only seen as a material for temporary and emergency shelter. Compared with the permanence required by religious buildings, wooden churches seem to be contradictory, but the group of wooden churches in Norway has overturned this myth.
