A brick branch church in Grabowo from the 19th century, with a Baroque altar from the 18th century and a bell from the 15th century.
The Church of St Anne in Grabowo (Stargard municipality) is a branch church of the parish of St Joseph in Stargard. It was built in the 19th century on the site of a 15th-century church that was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1786.
The church is built of brick, on a rectangular plan. At the beginning of the 20th century it was extended to the west, and the original portal in the south wall was bricked up then. On the roof stands a metal turret in place of the former wooden bell turret. The heritage register dates the building to the early 20th century.
The interior is covered by a wooden ceiling, and in the chancel stands a Baroque altar from the 18th century, moved from the church in Strachocin. In the churchyard bell tower hangs a bronze bell from the 15th century. The area around is occupied by a former German cemetery surrounded by a wall, with post-war Polish burials. The church was consecrated as a Catholic one in 1947.
