A branch church from the second half of the 17th century in Rogowo, with a Baroque altar from 1694, a pulpit with the Evangelists and stained glass from 1980.
The Church of St Michael the Archangel in Rogowo in Radowo Małe municipality was built in the second half of the 17th century, presumably on the site of an earlier church. The main founder was Joachim Balthasar von Dewitz. The heritage register gives the year 1696. Until 1945 the church was Protestant, and it was consecrated as a Catholic one on 29 September 1945. Today it belongs to the parish of Our Lady of the Scapular in Radowo Małe.
The church was built of fieldstone on a rectangular plan as a hall church, oriented, with a chancel closed on three sides. On the west a two-storey tower was added. In the south wall is a stepped, pointed portal with a tympanum. In 1870 the church was thoroughly rebuilt in the neo-Gothic spirit.
The ceiling is wooden, beamed and painted. In the chancel stands a two-storey Baroque altar from 1694, with the Last Supper in the predella, the Crucifixion on the first level and the Resurrection on the second. A Baroque pulpit with images of the four Evangelists and a six-sided canopy has survived, along with remains of the patron's gallery. The windows hold stained glass from 1980, the work of Bernard and Michał Rataj of Szczecin.
Less than a kilometre from the church stands the manor house in Dargomyśl. Nearby also lies the palace complex in Żelmowo.
