A Renaissance branch church from 1580 in Wysiedle, with a wooden tower from the 18th century, an altar from 1606 and a pulpit from 1624.
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Wysiedle in Łobez municipality was built in 1580, founded by Joachim Borck. It is in the Renaissance style and belongs to the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Zajezierze. It was consecrated as a Catholic church in 1947.
The church stands on a rectangular plan with an apse closed on three sides. The brick walls have stone details and are plastered on the outside. The gable above the apse is decorated with cornices, pilasters and two rows of round-arched niches. In the 18th century a spacious crypt was added to the south side, whose upper storey, open to the interior, was formerly a manorial gallery; its gable was built in half-timbered technique. On the west side adjoins a wooden, clad tower added in the 18th century. It narrows towards the top and ends in a slender octagonal spire covered with shingles.
The interior is covered by a wooden beamed ceiling. A five-sided Gothic altar with a scene of the Crucifixion has survived, funded in 1606 by Hening Borck. The font dates from 1623, and the pulpit, decorated with bas-reliefs and sculptures, from 1624. Along three walls run choir galleries from 1606 with paintings of biblical scenes. The church also has a balustrade from the 18th century.
The parish church in Zajezierze lies less than six kilometres further on, and the Church of St Joseph in Bonin about three kilometres.
