The Church of St Andrew Bobola in Piasecznik is a medieval church of erratic boulders, which was burned in 1945 and rebuilt in 1969. It stands in the village of Piasecznik in Choszczno municipality and is entered in the heritage register.
The church was built in the 15th century of erratic boulders, in the Gothic style. It is a rectangular single-room hall under a gabled roof, with pointed-arch blind niches in the east gable. The windows were re-walled in 1872; they have pointed-arch tops, recesses with two steps and stained glass. The church has no tower. Beside it stands a freestanding wooden bell tower, with a bell cast in 1517 by the bell-founder Lutke Rose of Stargard.
The church was burned on 18 February 1945. It was rebuilt in 1969, with the destroyed parts of the structure filled in with stone and brick, and the outer walls were plastered. Bishop Ignacy Jeż consecrated the church on 16 November 1969. Inside there is a music gallery in the western part of the nave, and in the chancel a mosaic showing the patron, St Andrew Bobola.
