Building a Dream: The Moorhead Stave Church

The Hopperstad stave church is a marvelous, iconic architectural statement from the fjords of Norway. Replicating the "stavkirke's" spiritual power and beauty became a quest for G.D. "Guy" Paulson of Fargo, ND. His Hopperstad Stave Church Replica is a jewel for the city of Moorhead, MN. Paulson's dream captured the imaginations of the experts, craftsmen, artists, and volunteers who helped him. It is a tribute to those who have gone before and an inspiration to those yet to come.
