Peace Church in Świdnica, Lutheran church building in Świdnica, Poland
The Church of Peace stands as the largest baroque timber church in Europe, constructed without nails and featuring a shingled structure in a cross shape.
Built between 1656 and 1657, this Lutheran church emerged from the Peace of Westphalia agreement that permitted Protestants in Silesia to construct three specific churches.
The interior presents 78 biblical verses on its walls, along with numerous religious paintings and a baroque pulpit created by Gotfried August Hoffmann in 1729.
The church welcomes visitors from April through October, Monday to Saturday between 9:00 and 18:00, and Sundays from 11:30 to 18:00.
The wooden structure accommodates 7,500 people across multiple levels, incorporating galleries and small balconies within its architectural framework.
