Built in a late 12th century Norwegian stave church style, the Boynton Chapel in Door County was handcrafted by Winifred and Donald Boynton. Winifred learned woodcarving and fresco techniques as they worked on the chapel. There are numerous carvings like the dragon arch of the doorway, fifty-two gargoyles under the eaves, the twelve apostles, carved pews, raised pulpit, altar and baptismal font. Winifred Boynton also painted forty-one frescoes which decorate the interior.
