This is a project run by the National Institute for Museums and Public Collections, together with the cooperation of the National Heritage Board of Poland and under the patronage of the Chief Conservator.
Its purpose is to show places of unique cultural value and significance for Polish history. “The determination and ingenuity of Silesian artists, as well as Swidnica’s Lutheran community, led to the construction (in just one year) of the largest wooden church in Europe, one that was able to accommodate a faithful of several thousand.
A half-timbered structure of the building, created with wood and filled with clay and straw (on the outside walls it was not really attractive), created a remarkable, almost theatrical interior which does not give way in its art and beauty to any other Baroque wooden statues and Catholic Baroque paintings found in Silesia.” – wrote the authors of the Canon.
