A 14th-century single-nave stone church with brick in the gable and a brick tower from 1903.
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Siwkowice was built, according to Wikipedia, in the 14th century, while the heritage register dates it to the early 16th century. It is a single-nave stone building on a rectangular plan, today a branch of the parish in Płoty.
The walls are built of stone, and the corners and the frames of the windows and portals of brick. The east gable is decorated with tracery and friezes. In the 16th or 17th century a wooden tower was added on the west side, and in 1903 it was replaced with a brick one. Its top storey is of brick, with three windows and two blind windows, and its ground floor has a pointed-arch portal. A sacristy adjoins the nave on the south side.
The ceiling is wooden and beamed. Above the entrance stands a 19th-century gallery with an organ case. An 18th-century pulpit and a Neo-Gothic altar topped with finials have survived. After the Second World War the church was blessed as a Catholic church in 1946.
