Church of the Most Holy Saviour in Sitno (Mieszkowice municipality)

The Church of the Most Holy Saviour in Sitno, a village in Mieszkowice municipality, was put into use in 1849. It is a branch of the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Troszyn. It is a different village from Sitno in Myślibórz municipality, with the Church of St Andrew Bobola.

A Neo-Gothic stone structure

The oriented church on a rectangular plan was built of stone, while the cornices, pilasters and window and portal surrounds are of brick. On the east side it has a distinct chancel with a three-sided end, and on the west a two-storey tower. Its base is square and higher up it becomes octagonal. The windows end in pointed arches. The heritage register gives the building years as 1847-1849.

Interior and bell

A 19th-century choir gallery and pews have survived. In the tower hangs a bell from 1617, much older than the building. After the war the church stood unused for many years, and it was consecrated as a Catholic church on 29 September 1974.

Nearby stands the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Troszyn.
