Church of St Michael the Archangel in Świdwin

The Church of St Michael the Archangel in Świdwin is a Neo-Gothic parish church of 1927, in which two eras can still be seen today: the body from the 1920s and the tower from the 1980s.

From 1927 to the parish

The church was built in the Neo-Gothic style in 1927 and blessed on 24 December 1945. In 1975 the bishop of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg established a rectorate at the church covering part of the town and several villages, and in 1981 the church became an independent parish church.

The tower of 1983

The tower was added only in 1983, to a design by the Koszalin architect Jerzy Bindulski. It houses a sacristy, three catechism rooms, a staircase and a bell tower. It is crowned with a metal cross 7.5 metres high, clad in copper sheet.

In the area also stand the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Świdwin Castle.
