from Slovakia, St Elizabeth Cathedral, the largest church in Slovakia. Originally built in the 11th C, it was consecrated to St Elizabeth of Hungary around 1240. As might be expected for a building so old, and so important, it has undergone numerous reconstruction phases which wikipedia outlines here
from Norway, an old wooden church known as a stave church. Fewer than 30 of these medieval churches survive, and all are in Norway.

Three amazing churches that I'm sure are worth visiting! It seems like a miracle that those wooden churches have survived through so many centuries.
My buildings are here.
I love stave churches a treasure survived.
My temples and churches are here
I have some photos of stave churches from a trip to Norway many decades ago, but alas, they not photos, not post cards!
Here are mine.
