A church from the early 18th century in Mielęcin, with a tower whose upper part is wooden and a Baroque pulpit altar.
The Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mielęcin, a village in Pyrzyce municipality, was built in the early 18th century and rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. It has the plan of an elongated rectangle with an annexe on the south side and a gabled roof over the nave. The window reveals and the eaves cornice are made of brick.
On the west side stands a tower whose upper part is wooden. A metal weathervane with the date 1712 turns at the top.
Above the entrance a wooden gallery with an organ case rests on columns, and the ceiling is beamed and painted light grey. An 18th-century Baroque pulpit altar has survived, decorated with columns, an entablature and plant ornaments; at its centre hangs a painting of the Virgin and Child with angels. The pulpit basket with small columns and paintings was taken down and placed at the side of the chancel. After the war, on 10 May 1946, the church was consecrated as a Catholic one.
