Peace Church in Jawor, Protestant church in Jawor, Poland
The Peace Church in Jawor stands as a monumental timber-framed religious building constructed with wood, straw, and clay, featuring three naves and multiple galleries.
Following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, architect Albrecht von Säbisch designed this Protestant church, completing its construction between 1654 and 1655 under strict regulations.
The interior contains 180 paintings depicting biblical narratives from both testaments, along with an ornate Baroque altar created by Martin Schneider in 1672.
Visitors can explore the church from April through October, with opening hours from 10:00 to 17:00 Monday through Saturday and 12:00 to 17:00 on Sundays.
This wooden church structure accommodates 5,500 people and represents one of only two remaining Churches of Peace, receiving UNESCO World Heritage status in 2001.
