Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Mielno (Węgorzyno municipality)

The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Mielno (Węgorzyno municipality, Łobez County) was built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, founded by the Wedel family. It is a branch of the parish of St John the Baptist in Sielsko and is entered in the heritage register. This is not the seaside Mielno.

Half-timbered construction and a wooden tower

The church was built in half-timbered construction. It is a hall building on a rectangular plan, with a chancel closed on three sides. The windows and the entrance portal are rectangular. By the west wall stands a free-standing wooden bell tower with a helm roof. Next to the church is a cemetery surrounded by a wooden fence.

Interior

The beamed wooden ceiling is supported by two wooden columns, and above the entrance there is a wooden choir gallery on two posts. A Neo-Gothic altar in the form of a triptych has survived, with a modern sculpture of the Virgin Mary. The church was consecrated as a Catholic church on 14 October 1945.
