Gothic church from the turn of the 16th century with a freestanding wooden bell tower, rebuilt in 1977.
The Church of St Francis of Assisi in Grzęzno is a Gothic single-room hall church from the turn of the 16th century with a freestanding wooden bell tower. It belongs to the parish of St Clare in Dobra and is entered in the heritage register.
The church was built at the turn of the 16th century and rebuilt at the turn of the 17th century. It is a Gothic single-room hall on a rectangular plan with a gabled roof over the nave. A medieval portal in the south wall has survived, re-walled in the 19th century, when the semicircular-headed windows were also re-walled. On the west side stands a freestanding wooden bell tower with an octagonal spire.
The ceiling is wooden and beamed, and the furnishings are entirely modern. The chancel is lit by two windows, between which hangs a cross with a figure of Christ. After the war the church was devastated. It was rebuilt in 1977 and consecrated on 6 December 1977 by Bishop Jerzy Stroba.
About 1 km from the village lie the Grzęzno Marshes (Grzęznieńskie Błota).
