The Church of the Most Holy Saviour in Turze is a Gothic church of the late 15th century built of fieldstone, with a neo-Romanesque tower added at the turn of the 19th century.
The church was built on a rectangular plan from partly dressed fieldstone. The gabled roof is covered with tiles, and the east gable is decorated with pointed-arch, stepped blind niches. At the turn of the 19th century the Gothic windows were bricked up and new brick ones were built, three in the side walls and two in the east wall. A five-storey neo-Romanesque tower with a sheet-metal pyramidal roof was added on the west side at the same time, with a portal with three steps in the ground floor and triple windows higher up.
The ceiling is wooden and boarded, and 19th-century pews and a choir gallery on pillars have survived. In the chancel wall, where the former altar stood, hangs a repainted picture of the Crucifixion. The church was consecrated as a Catholic church in 1953. Around it lies a former cemetery, enclosed by a stone wall with brick gate pillars. The church belongs to the parish in Ryszewko, where the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary stands.
