A half-timbered church from 1689 in Stare Worowo, with a tower from 1786 and a bell from 1562.
St Anthony of Padua's Church in Stare Worowo, in Złocieniec municipality, is a Roman Catholic filial church of the parish in Ostrowice, Drawsko Pomorskie deanery. This half-timbered monument from 1689 was entered in the register in 1960. Before 1945 it was Protestant. Half-timbering, that is a timber frame construction filled with masonry, is the main building material here.
The tower and façade were built in 1786. A bell from 1562, made by the Stargard bell-founder Joachim Karsted, hangs in the tower. Of the original furnishings, the organ gallery, a fragment of the floor, a cast-iron crucifix from the early 20th century, a brass candlestick from the late 19th century and wooden pews from the 19th century have survived.
Not far away lies the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Nowe Worowo.
