Epcot's World Showcase Tour

A striking wooden structure stands at the entrance to the Norway pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot. This stavkirke, or Stave Church, is styled after Gol Church of Hallingdal, built around 1250 A.D. It houses an exhibit of Norse artifacts.

Forming a backdrop for the showcase and a romantic exterior for the restaurant is a Norwegian castle which was styled after Akershus, a 14th century fortress that stands in the heart of Oslo's harbor.
