  • Location:

    Driving from Wałcz, one needs to turn left (northwards) by the first buildings into a road of sand and rocks, which leads to the church, located within a fenced area covered with tall trees.

The church in its current form was built in 1929 as an Evangelical church. It stands out against the other churches in the Wałcz region with its original form in a style referring to modernistic elements. The building of the church was designed on a plan of two rectangles connected with each other by their narrower sides. The first, larger rectangle houses the nave; the second, smaller one consists of a presbytery and a sacristy. The transition between the nave and the presbytery is very interesting. The presbytery has a vault that is a continuation of the main body’s vault, but the side walls extend from the walls of the sacristy. It results from narrowing of the rear gable wall symmetrically on both sides and adding the sacristy. In the front wall, there is the main entrance with double wooden doors decorated with planks arranged symmetrically along two axes in a herringbone pattern. A rectangular fanlight catches the eye with a fanciful stained glass window. The fanlight is topped with a band of profiled bricks arranged transversely to the rest. In the upper part of the gable wall, there are tall, rectangular windows – identical ones are located in the side walls of the presbytery. The side walls of the main body are reinforced by straight buttresses dividing them into three parts. In each part, there are windows in a shape similar to a square. The same windows are located in the side walls of the sacristy.

The nave is covered by a convexo-concave roof, topped in the front part with a low tower on a square-shaped plan, boarded with planks, with a hipped roof crowned with a cross. The outbuilding where the sacristy is located has a three-hipped roof. An additional decorative element is a colour contrast between red brick walls and green roofing.The church in its current form was built in 1929 as an Evangelical church.
