A church of about 1270 of granite ashlar, the only relic of the village's medieval buildings, with a Baroque altar.
The Church of Our Lady Queen of the World in Dobra near Szczecin is a stone-and-brick church of simple architecture, with no tower and no separate chancel. It is the only relic of the village's medieval buildings. It was built around 1270 of granite ashlar.
By the north-east corner there stood a sacristy that no longer exists, and the trace of it is a rarely seen corner buttress. In 1770 a porch was added to the south wall, the windows in the east wall were rebuilt and the interior was covered with a wooden beam ceiling. In 1875 brick, stepped tops of the gables were built, the windows in the side walls were enlarged and a second porch was added on the north. The renovation, completed in 2025, covered the interior (walls, floors, ceiling) as well as the high altar, the epitaph and the pulpit.
The Baroque high altar has a form not found elsewhere in Pomerania: it is a converted former pulpit altar, with the pulpit canopy set on the floor of the chancel. It is decorated with the coats of arms of the Blankensee and Perband families, and the two side pieces of the ornament, known as lugs, are not identical. The church also has the epitaph of Bogusław Ernest von Ramin from the second half of the 18th century and a bell 1 metre in diameter, cast in 1862 by the Szczecin firm of C. Woss. After 1945 some of the furnishings disappeared, among them the second von Ramin epitaph and an 18th-century bronze candelabrum. In the vicinity stands the Church of St Anthony of Padua in Buk.
