St Joseph the Worker's Church in Rybokarty

St Joseph the Worker's Church in Rybokarty is a church from the 15th century, listed in the heritage register. It is a filial church of the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gryfice.

Stone, brick and a half-timbered tower

The oriented hall church is built of stone and brick, and was partly rebuilt in the 18th century. The east gable is decorated with pointed-arch blind windows, a sacristy was added on the south-east side, and the grounds are surrounded by a stone wall. The tower by the west façade dates from 1690: the lower storey is of stone, the upper one half-timbered, and the whole is covered by an octagonal Baroque spire.

Interior

The interior has a wooden beamed ceiling, a wall-mounted pulpit with a canopy, a choir gallery with an organ case and a Baroque altar. At its centre is a Crucifixion scene, in the predella the Last Supper, and in the crowning the Entombment. The Gothic triptych that once stood here was moved to the church in Gryfice after 1945.

Right next to it stands the Palace in Rybokarty.
