A Gothic church of erratic boulders from the late 15th century, with a gallery from 1623 and a war cemetery.
The Church of St Joseph in Mieszewo is a Gothic building from the late 15th century, built of erratic boulders. It was consecrated as a Catholic church on 19 March 1946, and since 1985 it has been a parish church.
The church stands on a rectangular plan, and the windows and portal are closed with pointed arches. In the 19th century a four-storey Neo-Gothic tower with an octagonal spire, pointed-arch windows and oculi was added on the west side. Two bells hang in it, from 1865 and 1895. The interior is covered with a wooden beamed ceiling, and above the entrance is a choir gallery from 1623. An 18th-century gravestone has survived in the floor.
Next to the church lies a cemetery of those who fell in the First World War, with a monument dedicated to the former owners of the village, the von Dewitz family.
