Church of Theth, Catholic church in Theth village, Albania
The Church of Theth stands at 1,050 meters elevation within the Albanian Alps, featuring traditional architectural elements and wooden interior craftsmanship.
The church dates from the early 19th century when local inhabitants moved to Theth approximately 300 to 350 years ago to maintain their Catholic traditions.
The religious building functions as a central gathering point for the community, hosting regular services and festivals that strengthen local social connections.
Access to the church requires hiking on rural paths, and winter conditions from December through April often make the single connecting road impassable.
The church maintains its position as an active religious center while the surrounding village operates as both a National Park and Protected Historic Center.
