Wooden Church

The Wooden Church is a reformed place of worship in Miskolc constructed almost entirely from pine wood. The building follows designs that combine traditional architectural elements with modern construction methods.

A fire destroyed the original structure from 1938 almost completely in 1997. After this disaster, the building was reconstructed according to new plans and reopened in 1999.

The church displays wood carving methods that have been practiced in the region for generations. Visitors can see how traditional craftsmanship is preserved in every detail of the decoration.

A visit requires arranging access through the church office, and visitors should come on weekdays when tours are available. The best time to visit is in the morning when natural light illuminates the interior well.

The building was created according to a design whose author was later buried nearby, remaining connected to the place in an unusual way. This personal bond between architect and work is a surprising part of the location's story for visitors.
