A branch church from 1912 with a free-standing wooden tower from the 18th century and a Baroque altar from 1715.
The Church of the Holy Family in Lubowo, in Stargard municipality, is a branch church of the parish of Saints Peter and Paul in Grzędzice. It was built in 1912 of stone and brick, on the site of an earlier half-timbered church.
The chancel is rectangular, distinct from the nave and supported by buttresses on the east side. By the west elevation stands a free-standing wooden tower from the 18th century, built on a square plan with walls tapering upwards. It once had a spire, and today it is covered by a gable roof. The tower itself is also entered in the heritage register.
The ceiling is beamed and boarded, and 19th-century pews and a gallery have survived. Before 1945 a Gothic altar stood in the church; in its place today is a Baroque altar from 1715, renovated in 1902, with a painting of the Holy Family. A 19th-century chandelier also hangs in the church, and the bell has a German inscription. After the war the church was consecrated as a Catholic one in 1945.
