The Holy Trinity Church of Peace in Świdnica is the largest wooden Baroque temple in Europe[2] and a historic religious building built under the agreements of the Treaty of Westphalia signed in 1648, which ended the Thirty Years' War.

To raise funds for the construction a native of Świdnica Christian Czepko set off on a journey around European Protestant courts.

In 1989, Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl prayed  together for peace in the church.

In 2014, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz participated in an ecumenical prayer for peace.

[2] The Church of Peace in Świdnica was built in the wattle and daub system as a centrally located building based on a wooden frame filled with a mass of clay and straw.

The center features the "Baptism of Christ" and the figures of Moses, High Priest Aaron and the apostles Peter and Paul.

Above, a frieze with the inscription rests on six Corinthian columns: "Dies ist mein geliebter Sohn, an dem ich Wohlgefallen habe" ("This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased" - Matthew 3:17).

An antique organ with 62 pipes and a baroque prospectus from the years 1666–1669, built by Gottfried Klose of Brzeg and rebuilt several times, has also survived.

The present organ, dates from 1909 and was made by a Świdnica company - Schlag & Söhne, which introduced electric power.

The loge was built as a token of gratitude to the family of Count Johann Heinrich von Hochberg, who founded the oak trees for the construction of the church.
