Church of St Nicholas in Bodzęcin

The Church of St Nicholas, Bishop, in Bodzęcin (Osina municipality, Goleniów county) was built at the turn of the 15th century as an oriented building of erratic boulders and stone ashlar, on a rectangular plan. It is a branch church of the parish of St Catherine in Goleniów.

Tower and interior

In the 19th century a chancel with three sides was added on the east side. On the west side adjoins a tower from 1905, of granite stones in its lower part and of brick higher up, with a neo-Baroque crown of two stepped gables and a small turret with a spike. In the south wall a rebuilt Gothic portal has survived. Inside are a gallery with an organ case, a Baroque pulpit with a canopy and four candlesticks from 1766, and in three chancel windows neo-Gothic stained glass. Next to the church stands a burial chapel. The church was consecrated as a Catholic one on 1 September 1947.

In the neighbourhood lies the church in Węgorza.
