A stone church from the 14th or 15th century in Chwarstnica, entered in the heritage register, with pointed blind arcades in the gable and a wooden tower from the 19th century.
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Chwarstnica is a Gothic building of erratic boulders, entered in the heritage register. It stands in the village of Chwarstnica in Gryfino municipality, at Kościelna 7.
The Wikipedia entry dates the church to the second half of the 14th century, the heritage register to the 15th century. It is a hall building on the plan of an elongated rectangle, with a gabled roof and corners decorated with pinnacles. The east elevation is crowned by a gable with pointed blind arcades arranged in a pyramid. In the north wall is a stepped pointed portal, and a second, western one has been walled up. In the 19th century a wooden tower with a pavilion roof was added.
A flat wooden ceiling covers the interior, and at the back stands a wooden choir gallery on posts. The 19th-century pews have survived, while the rest of the furnishings were replaced during renovation in 1989-1990. The church was consecrated as a Catholic one on 20 January 1946.
