Granite church from the second half of the 13th century in Nowogródek Pomorski, entered in the heritage register, with a half-timbered tower added in 1752.
The Church of Our Lady, Queen of Poland in Nowogródek Pomorski is a granite hall church from the second half of the 13th century with a half-timbered tower of 1752. It belongs to the Salesians and is entered in the heritage register.
The church was built in the second half of the 13th century. From the 16th century it served Lutherans, and in the Thirty Years' War it suffered serious damage. It was rebuilt in 1752: the windows were widened, a sacristy was added on the north side, and a half-timbered tower was built above the western part of the nave. In the 19th century neo-Gothic porches were added. Catholics took over the church after the Second World War, and the consecration took place on 2 February 1947.
The building measures 25.25 by 12.9 m, is built of granite ashlar and is covered with a gable roof. The eastern gable is decorated with round-arched blind arcades in a pyramidal arrangement, and the tower is crowned with a lantern with a helmet topped by a ball and a cross. The interior is divided by two rows of pillars with polychromy in the arches, and the main nave has a barrel vault. On the gallery stands a richly decorated organ case from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. A neo-baroque altar from the 19th century and a wooden neo-Gothic font have survived.
