Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Suchań

The church in Suchań is a Gothic building from the end of the 15th century made of erratic boulders and brick, with a baroque tower of 1696 and furnishings preserved from the late 16th and early 17th centuries: a pulpit of 1586 and an altar of 1618.

Form and clock tower

The church was built on a rectangular plan, with a nave under a gable roof and a straight-ended chancel. In 1696 a four-sided tower was added on the west side: the lower storey is of stone, the upper of wood, and the whole is crowned by a baroque helmet. Clock faces were placed on all four sides of the helmet's eaves.

Historic furnishings

Inside, a Renaissance altar of 1618, a pulpit of 1586, a font of 1593 and a choir balustrade of 1700 have survived. After the Second World War the church was consecrated as a Catholic church on 1 July 1945.
