Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mętno Małe

The church in Mętno Małe is a historic stone building of the 15th century in the centre of a small settlement in the municipality of Chojna. After 1945 the church was abandoned and today it has no religious function.

A granite hall with a semicircular end

The church was built in the 15th century of irregular granite stones as a hall building on a rectangular plan, closed to the east with a semicircular end. It has no choir or tower, and the roof is gabled. In the south wall there is an entrance portal, and another one, in the west wall, was walled up in 1855. The portal reveals are brick. The windows were rebuilt in the 18th century and closed with a basket arch.

Traces of Gothic polychromy

Remains of Gothic polychromy have survived in the interior. A wooden bell tower with two bells of the 15th century formerly stood next to the church. Conservation work was carried out in the early 21st century.
