Church of the 13th century built of granite ashlar, rebuilt in 1872, with ceiling polychromy and a bell of 1499.
The Church of St Florian in Jesionowo is a granite church of the 13th century, rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. It stands in Przelewice municipality in Pyrzyce County and belongs to the parish of Christ the King in Jesionowo. It is the second church in the village, older than the parish Church of Christ the King.
The building is of granite ashlar; it is a single-room hall on a rectangular plan. A thorough rebuilding was completed in 1872, commemorated by the date on the east wall gable. At that time a square bell tower was added on the west side and the windows in the side walls were built, three on each side. A pointed-arch portal in the south wall remains from the original layout. Bells of 1499 and 1928 hang in the tower.
An organ gallery from the second half of the 19th century has survived, together with polychromy on the ceiling: the Lamb of God, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and the Eye of Providence. In the east wall there is a niche with an illusionistic painting of a neo-Baroque altar. Conservation of the paintings was carried out in 1985-1993.
Until 1945 it was a Protestant church. Because a Catholic church already operated in the village, the building stood unused for many years. It was restored at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, and consecrated in 2003. Around it runs the stone wall of the former cemetery.
