Former Protestant church of brick and fieldstone in Kłopotowo, a filial church of the parish in Wrzosowo, with a 600-year-old oak beside it.
The filial Church of St Andrew the Apostle in Kłopotowo is a former Protestant church of brick and fieldstone. The Wikipedia entry says it was built most probably in the 14th century in the Gothic-Romanesque style, while the register entry on zabytek.pl dates the building to the 16th century. The building was reconstructed in the Baroque period and restored in the 19th century. It was entered in the heritage register in 1956.
The church is oriented, buttressed, with a single nave, on a rectangular plan, with an undifferentiated chancel closed in a semicircle. On the west side stands a rectangular tower with a gabled roof. Inside is a wooden beamed ceiling, and the windows have semicircular heads.
The church existed by the first half of the 16th century at the latest; in 1553 it was taken over by the Protestant confession. In 1973, after wartime destruction, it was handed over to the Koszalin-Kołobrzeg Diocese. In the churchyard grows a 600-year-old pedunculate oak, entered in the register of natural monuments.
The parish Church of the Transfiguration in Wrzosowo lies 2.8 km away.
Next to the church stands the von Wedel manor house from 1910, and about 4 km from the village the Palace in Lubiechowo.
