Neo-Gothic brick church of 1900-1903 on a cruciform plan, built for the Protestant congregation, today Capuchin.
The Church of St Anthony in Wałcz is a Neo-Gothic brick building, built at the beginning of the 20th century for the Protestant congregation of Wałcz, today belonging to the Capuchins. It has an extensive body on a cruciform plan and a tower of four storeys.
The church was built in 1900-1903 (the heritage register gives 1902-1903) of ceramic brick, in cross and header bond, on lime mortar. The plan has the shape of a cross: a rectangular nave crossed by a wide transept, at the east a chancel and a small sacristy, at the west a slender four-storey tower with a pyramidal helm. Buttresses surround the body, and gables stand above the north and south arms of the transept.
The furnishings of the interior are uniform. Round staircases lead to the side galleries, and a separate staircase to the tower. It is now looked after by the Capuchins.
In the neighbourhood, about 100 metres away, is the Wałcz Land Museum.
About 200 metres from the church stands the town hall in Wałcz.
