The font and surroundings

The most valuable item of furnishing is a stone font in the form of a chalice, carved from a single block of Gotland limestone at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. According to the entry, it is one of the few religious monuments of this kind in West Pomerania. By the church stands a memorial boulder with an inscription in memory of the residents who created the Polish character of the Gościno Land. Not far away is the park in Gościno.
