The former Protestant church in Giżyn is a Neo-Gothic church from around 1890, built of stone, with a broad tower. It was entered in the heritage register in 2002 (number A-109). Since 1945 it has served as a warehouse.

The village

Giżyn (German: Giesenbrügge) lies in Nowogródek Pomorski municipality. In the village cemetery stands the burial chapel of the von Borcke family from the first half of the 19th century, in which Heros von Borcke is buried, an officer of the Prussian cavalry and of the Confederate States Army. The palace from the 18th century was demolished, and a manor park with large lime trees remains.

About 200 m away stands the Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross from 1936.
