Wooden churches of the 20th century: modern places of worship built on a dodecagon plan, from prefabricated parts and from glued timber

Silesia's wooden churches are not only monuments from the 15th and 18th centuries. In the 20th century wood was chosen for fear of mining damage, for quick assembly or out of attachment to highland tradition. From the dodecagon in Zabrze to the glued beams in Bytom.
