Church of St Anthony in Święte

The Church of St Anthony of Padua in Święte was built in the 15th century of stone and brick. It is a hall building on a rectangular plan, closed on the east side by a flat wall whose gable is decorated with blind arches.

Alterations

In the 19th century the gables were lowered, and the windows and the portal in the south wall were rebuilt, giving it a neo-Gothic, pointed shape. At the end of that century a brick tower on a four-sided plan was added on the west side. It was originally crowned with a helmet, which is no longer there.

The triptych

In the western part of the interior is an L-shaped gallery. A partly incomplete altar triptych from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries has survived, with sculptures of the Madonna and Child, St Anne and St Christopher. The church was consecrated as a Catholic church in 1945, and was renovated in 1957-1958.

It is not far from here to the castle in Pęzino.
