Kościół Wang
Karpacz
Wang Chapel is a unique wooden stave church, built around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries in Vang, Norway. In the 19th century it was purchased and relocated to Karpacz beneath the Krkonoše Mountains, where it still serves worshippers today. The structure, assembled without a single iron nail, captivates with richly decorated portals featuring Romanesque and Viking motifs. Karpacz, at the foot of Śnieżka, is an ideal base for hiking and family outings.
