The largest timber wooden church in Europe with a spectacular Baroque style interior, beautiful painted ceilings (parts of the upper ranks have been in renovation back then). It is a beat off the beaten path, but if you have a car it is not that far away from Wroclaw which is a nice place to stop as well.

We decided to “pop in” here for a quick visit as we were walking past on my way to the square of Swidnica. I spent an enjoyable 2 hours in here. I was amazed by the beauty of this wonderful building. I recommend a visit here, take the time to look over its beauty and architecture.
