The Churches of Peace (
Polish:
Kościoły Pokoju,
German:
Friedenskirchen) in
Jawor (German:
Jauer) and
Świdnica (German:
Schweidnitz) in
Silesia were named after the
Peace of Westphalia of 1648 which permitted the
Lutherans in the Roman Catholic parts of
Silesia to build three
Evangelical
churches from wood, loam and straw outside the city walls, without
steeples and church bells. The construction time was limited to one
year. Since 2001, the two remaining churches are listed as
UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
