Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Przybiernów

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Przybiernów is a Gothic church of fieldstone, built in 1554. A church probably stood here from the beginning of the 14th century, and in 1679 its poor technical condition forced a thorough rebuilding in which only the medieval perimeter walls remained untouched.

A wooden tower

On the west side stands a tower on a trapezoidal plan, in its lower part of stone with a pointed brick portal, in the upper part wooden, of pine. It is covered by a two-stage, late baroque helmet with a conical top and a cross. In 1974 the tower was renovated and covered with new shingles. On the north side is a small half-timbered porch, and on the east side the church was extended in the 18th century.

Altar and organ

In the chancel stands a baroque altar of 1712-1713 from the pulled-down church in Świętoszewo, with two storeys and twisted columns. In the centre it has a 15th-century figure of the Virgin and Child, and at the sides images of the twelve Apostles painted on boards. On the neo-Gothic gallery is an organ by Barnim Grüneberg of Szczecin of 1862. The font is formed by a granite column with a stone bowl.

In the area lies the Jezioro Czarne nature reserve.
