You're standing at the Vang Stave Church in Karpacz, high in the Giant Mountains. Take a good look, because this building doesn't really belong here. It's a Norwegian stave church, built around 1200 in the village of Vang, in the Valdres region. It's the only stave church in Poland. It's probably also the most visited one in the world, with about two hundred thousand visitors a year.
