The Wikipedia entry calls it one of the most architecturally interesting buildings of its type in Poland and the most valuable monument of the town. It has been the seat of the town authorities from the start and still houses the town and commune office.
The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Kościelna 1 dates from the 15th century. The first church in town was probably built in the 13th century. Fires damaged the present brick building, among them one in 1692. The tower was added in 1693 and rebuilt in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. The Baroque altar is from 1704 and the pulpit from the 17th century. Monuments in the same vein appear under architecture in Nowe Warpno, and a walk alone is covered by Nowe Warpno solo.
