Church of St Isidore in Bonin (Manowo municipality)

The Church of St Isidore in Bonin is a Gothic building from the 15th century, entered in the heritage register under the name of a chapel. It is a branch of the parish of the Holy Trinity in Koszalin, in Manowo municipality.

Brick, stone and a Baroque turret

It was built of brick and erratic boulders. The nave is supported by buttresses and ends in a distinct, polygonal chancel. The windows are round-arched and pointed-arched, and the gables are decorated with pointed-arch blind niches. In the gabled roof sits a squat Baroque turret with an onion dome and a lantern.

History after 1945

In the 19th and early 20th centuries the church was renovated. After 1945 it was first used as a club-café. After it was handed over to the Roman Catholic Church, it was blessed on 9 September 1979 by Bishop Ignacy Jeż.
