Church of St Elizabeth in Dolsko

The church in Dolsko in Moryń municipality was built in the second half of the 13th century and is built of granite ashlar. Today it is a filial church, dedicated to St Elizabeth of Hungary, in the parish of the Holy Spirit in Moryń. After the war, in 1947, it was blessed again as a Catholic church.

Granite nave and tower

The building is a hall church, on a rectangular plan measuring 9 by 6.4 metres. In the 16th century its plan was changed by closing the chancel with a large apse. On the west side stands a stone bell tower the width of the nave, with the main entrance and a porch on the ground floor, covered with a four-sided hipped roof; a bell from 1770 hangs in it. From the outside a narrow entrance leads to the second storey of the tower.

Portals and interior

The church has two portals: one with three stepped reveals on the ground floor of the tower and one with two stepped reveals in the south elevation. On the left reveal of the west portal a heavily worn chequerboard carving can be seen. The windows have a pointed-arch shape and were rebuilt in the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic spirit. The interior is covered by a two-bay Neo-Gothic rib vault. The church adjoins a historic cemetery surrounded by a stone wall.

The mother Church of the Holy Spirit in Moryń lies a few kilometres away.
