A 16th-century Renaissance castle chapel, rebuilt as a church, with a burial chapel and polychrome paintings.
The Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Krąg was built in the 16th century, founded by Adam von Podewils, as a Renaissance castle chapel. It stands right next to Krąg Castle. Today it is a branch of the parish in Ostrowiec.
In the mid-17th century the building was rebuilt in the Baroque style. In 1696-1701 a burial chapel, faced with sandstone slabs and richly decorated with sculpture, was added on the east side. The church is built of brick and stone, plastered on the outside. The heritage register gives its style as Renaissance and its material as brick.
The interior has kept wall paintings from the second half of the 17th century, as well as window and door joinery from the 17th to 19th centuries. It holds an early Baroque altar, a Renaissance pulpit, a patron's box from about 1600, an 18th-century font, Baroque epitaphs and two sarcophagi of the owners of Krąg from 1696 and 1697.
