Evangelical Wooden Articular Church (UNESCO)

A unique wooden structure made of yew and red spruce, which was built without the use of a single metal nail. Protestants from across Europe have contributed to the church's construction, and Swedish seamen have also worked on the building, making the top of the interior reminiscent of an inverted ship. The ceiling painting depicts the twelve apostles and the four evangelists.
