Church of St Anne in Bielkowo from the 15th century, rebuilt in neo-Gothic form after a fire in the 19th century, with a square tower and a stone cemetery wall of the 16th century.
The Church of St Anne in Bielkowo is a branch church in Kobylanka municipality, in Stargard County, belonging to the parish of St Anthony of Padua in Kobylanka. The building standing today was built in the 15th century, and a church already stood on the site of an earlier building in the 13th century.
After a fire in the 19th century the church was thoroughly rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. The walls of stone and brick are plastered, and the nave windows have pointed-arch tops. On the west side adjoins a three-storey tower on a square plan with an octagonal, pointed spire and a pointed-arch portal. Around the church extends the area of a former cemetery, enclosed by a stone wall of the 16th century.
The interior is covered with a plastered ceiling. A 19th-century choir gallery on pillars has survived, and the furnishings are modern. After the war the church was consecrated as a Catholic church on 1 July 1945. It is entered in the heritage register.
Nearby is the Cistercian abbey in Kołbacz.
