In 1841-42, the Stave church of Vang, bought by King Frederick William IV of Prussia, was moved from the village of Vang (Norway) to Szczecin, then to Berlin, and finally to Silesia. In 1844, the Stave church became the church of the Evangelical parish of Karpacz. The church is said to have been built from pine logs in the village of Vang in southern Norway at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries.
