St Anthony of Padua's Church in Brwice is a village church of granite ashlar, built at the end of the 13th century. It is a hall church, without a gallery or tower, with slender pointed windows. In the chancel a late Gothic altar from the 1520s has survived. The parish church lies in Chojna municipality, and was entered in the heritage register under no. 273 of 1956 and A-1009 of 2011.
The church has a rectangular plan measuring 19.7 by 10 metres. In the north and south walls there are five windows each, and in the east wall three, of which the middle one is bricked up. In the west wall is a rebuilt two-step portal, and the other, southern one is bricked up. The east gable is decorated with elongated recesses, and the west one was rebuilt in 1900, removing the recesses and bricking up the rose window. Around the church extends the area of the former cemetery, surrounded by a stone wall.
In the chancel stands a late Gothic altar from the 1520s, with scenes of the Deposition from the Cross and the Entombment in the central part and eight figures of saints in the wings. The ceiling is wooden, beamed, and on the west wall is a neo-Gothic organ gallery with a carved balustrade. A candelabrum from the second half of the 18th century has also survived. Next to the church stands a free-standing bell tower with a bell of 1568. After the Second World War, on 13 June 1948, the church was consecrated as a Catholic one.
