An 18th-century half-timbered church with a two-storey tower and 19th-century furnishings.
The Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Rotnowo was built in the 18th century in half-timbered construction. The heritage register gives the year 1780, while other sources indicate about 1800. It is a former Protestant church, today a branch of the parish of St Stanislaus Kostka in Wyszobór.
The church stands on a rectangular plan and has a ceramic gable roof. A two-storey tower adjoins it on the west side: the lower part is half-timbered, the upper part wooden and boarded, with an octagonal sheet-metal spire. About 3.3 km further on stands the church in Łopianów, built in 1911.
The interior is plastered throughout, and above the chancel runs a partition in the form of an arch. 19th-century furnishings have survived: a U-shaped choir gallery, a pulpit, pews, a stone font and a crucifix with a stone figure of Christ. After the war, on 3 May 1947, the church was reconsecrated as a Catholic church.
