Church of St John Cantius in Dobrowo

The Church of St John Cantius in Dobrowo is a half-timbered building from the turn of the 19th century, which was originally the burial chapel of the von Kleist family. It is entered in the heritage register, and nearby stands the palace in Dobrowo.

From chapel to church

Once it was put into use, Protestant services were held there. After the Second World War the former Evangelical church was taken over by the State Agricultural Farm in Dobrowo, and the building stood devastated and unused. After its entry in the heritage register in 1965 a renovation began. The church was consecrated and handed over to the faithful on 6 July 1971. The parish of St John Cantius was established on 4 August 1989.

Construction

The building has a half-timbered post-and-frame construction. The heritage register dates it to the middle of the 19th century.
