Vang stave church, Stave church in Karpacz, Poland
The wooden temple features traditional Norwegian construction techniques with vertical posts, corner braces, and intricate carvings throughout its exterior and interior walls.
The church, constructed in Norway around 1200, moved to Poland in 1842 through the intervention of King Frederick William IV of Prussia.
The interior displays both Norwegian medieval craftsmanship and Protestant adaptations, including original portals with runic inscriptions and botanical motifs.
The church welcomes visitors from April through October between 9:00 and 18:00, and from November through April between 9:00 and 17:00.
Some decorative elements from the original structure were repositioned during reconstruction, with doorway carvings now facing the interior of the building.
