Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mirosławiec

The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the parish church of Mirosławiec in Wałcz County. It is a brick, single-nave building with baroque elements and a neo-Romanesque tower.

From 1543 to the rebuilding of the tower

The first church was built in 1543. After a fire in the town it was rebuilt in 1721, with baroque elements, by the von Blankenburg family. In 1883-1885 it was rebuilt, with the addition of a neo-Romanesque tower. The heritage register dates the present building to the 18th century and describes it as baroque.

Form and furnishings

On the west side stands a tower with a spire roof, on the north and south sides chapels, and on the east side a sacristy. The nave has a hipped roof with three slopes, and the walls have modest decoration of pilaster strips and cornices. Of the earlier furnishings a font and a music gallery from the 18th century have survived. Two Renaissance altars were taken down in the early 1990s because of their poor technical condition.
