Half-timbered church of 1672 in Górnica, formerly Protestant, next to a manor park of the late 19th century.
The Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland in Górnica is a half-timbered church of 1672, formerly Protestant, today Roman Catholic. The heritage register entered it in 1961 and dates it to the 17th century. Górnica (German Hohenstein) lies in Wałcz municipality, about 20 km from Wałcz.
The church was built in half-timbered construction. The Wikipedia entry on the village lists it as one of the two monuments of Górnica. The other is a manor park of the late 19th century, also entered in the register.
Within about 1.5 km west and south-west of the village lie lakes Rakowo and Piecnickie. In 1954-1957 Górnica was the seat of the authorities of the gromada (a rural administrative unit).
About 3 km from the village is the Bison Show Reserve, and about 7 km further the Wielki Bytyń Nature Reserve.
