A Neo-Gothic church from 1889-1891, built as a Protestant church, with an organ from Zurich and a gilded altar.
The Church of St Adalbert in Wierzchowo, in Drawsko County, is a Neo-Gothic church of facing brick, built in 1889-1891 as a Protestant church. It was entered in the heritage register in 2008.
This two-aisled building has a five-storey bell tower. The main nave ends on the north side in a semicircular chancel, and on the opposite side stands a music gallery with an eighteen-stop pneumatic organ made in Zurich. The church could hold 930 people. After the war, on 13 January 1946, it was consecrated by Fr Stanisław Tatar CR from Złocieniec, who gave it the dedication to St Adalbert. The first Midnight Mass was celebrated here on 24 December 1946.
The high altar was moved from a demolished church. On its altar table is placed a richly gilded triptych relief of the Passion, with the Last Supper in the predella and figures of Moses and Aaron.
