There is a pleasant walk to the church.
A Swedish painter in Germany, Johan Dahl, bought the church to prevent its demolition. He then persuaded Frederick William IV of Prussia to take it over and it was transported via Szczeczin to Berlin.
Owing to the involvement of Countess Frederica von Reden of Bukowiec, in the spring of 1842 the church was moved to the Karkonosze Mountains so that it could be of use to the Lutherans living in Karpacz and its surroundings. The church therefore journeyed on barges along the river Odra to be later hauled by nine horse wagons.
The building site for the church was presented by Count Christian Leopold von Schaffgotsch of Cieplice. It is a slope of Czarna Góra (885 metres above sea level), midway between lower Karpacz and Mount Śnieżka.
The church itself is a remarkable construction with no Iron nails used. The wooden pillars inside could have been from Viking boats and the intricate wooden carving is a delight. A charming small cemetery and a good view of Mt. Śnieżka, plus a base for hiking trails.

This wooden church was moved from Scandinavia and assembled without singe nail. It is worth to take guided tour to learn about its history and details of architecture.

Great story behind the temple. Went there on a misty day so couldn't appreciate the views, but really enjoyed the experience .

Very nice old wooden church, originally from 12th century Norway, transplanted to Poland, lovely old details remain, cozy ambiance, comfortable place for quiet reflection. The grounds offer a little bit more to see and ponder, one or two memorials, an old graveyard and an excellent panoramic view. Good visit.

Lovely little stave church brought from parish of Vang in Norway.
The entrance to the building is not free, but the fee for the entry covers a recorded explanation of the history of the church.
It's worth having a stroll around the building and through the cemetery to visit graves of, amongst others, Henryk Tomaszewski, creator of the Wroclaw Mime Theatre (Wrocławski Teatr Pantomimy) and Tadeusz Różewicz, Polish poet, dramatist and writer.

This is such a novelty the church is after a Viking design transported from Norway. Absolutely worth every step to get there.

We climbed up to find out there was a wedding in the church and it would be open to visitors in about an hour. Couldn't wait.
We didn't thought to check if it’s a proper time for a visit… so we took pictures of the church outside enjoyed the view and the red mushrooms we saw on our way down

Not so many this type of churches to see close-by, actually in Norway. You can feel a flavor of vikings time.

it's a small, one hour starting point at the beginning of any trip to Karkonosze.
The church is unique and worth visiting.
you'll get a little story if you pay a ticket to get inside (in Polish).

Wonderful church from 18 century worth to be seen at any time of the year. Probably most people would recommend to visit Vang at May June when rhododendron surrounding the temple gardens blooming.

Ślub to ważna sprawa, należy z tym pytaniem zwrócić się do administrujących tym kościołem. Przy samej świątyni jest stary cmentarz i w wyjątkowych sytuacjach są tam pogrzeby bardzo zasłuzonych ludzi. Może w drodze wyjątku ślub też się tam da zorganizować...powodzenia

W Karpaczu nie ma transportu publicznego. Jest taka kolejka na kołach stylizowana na pociąg (na kołach) i wozi turystów po całym Karpaczu, nazywa się Karpacz Expres...powodzenia
