Churches and monasteries in Barlinek: a Gothic parish church, a neo-Gothic Orthodox church and the brick St Boniface church from 1923.

Three places of worship in Barlinek tell the story of the town's changes: from Gothic, through a 19th-century Protestant church taken over by the Orthodox, to a church from the early 20th century. All three stand in town, so you can see them on foot.

Which churches in Barlinek are worth seeing?

The oldest is Kościół Niepokalanego Serca Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Barlinku (Church of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary) at Paderewskiego 3. Construction began in the 13th century as a Romanesque building of granite blocks and it was later extended in the Gothic style. After a fire in 1852 it was rebuilt, and the vault is star-shaped.
