Baroque church from 1711 standing on a hill in Zaton Dolna (formerly Lower Saaten), directly at the "Tal der Liebe" forest park on the Oder

Noteworthy at Zaton Dolna (Niedersaathen), this quiet, nestled on the mountain slopes village is the church on the outskirts of the village on a hill high above the Oder bank. It is an oval, plastered and tiled building built in 1711. The wooden tower is about a hundred years younger (1820). The year 1972 above the door is likely to be the date of renovation and consecration as a Catholic church.

Visiting the interior of the church, a baroque carving work emerges as an altarpiece, which was originally part of a pulpit altar. The pulpit itself has been sawn off and the altarpiece is now housed in the opening through which the (Protestant) preacher once entered the pulpit. By all appearances, this pulpit altar came from the hands of Heinrich Bernhard Hattenkerell, who was a woodcarver in Mohrin (Moryn). From him are preserved various altars and baptismal angels. Here at the National Park you can visit the Lunower Altar he created.

The altarpiece today shows the Franciscan monk Maximilian Kolbe, who in 1941, as an inmate in the Auschwitz concentration camp, went to the Hungerbunker instead of a designated family man to die there.

From the lawn in front of the church, the hiker enjoys a wide view over Oder and Odertal, which extends to the castle Zützen.

The small church on a hill above the Oder bank is visible from afar. In the meadow at the church are still old graves of people who died until 1955. Hidden under a tree is still an old German tombstone. From here you have a great view of the Oder and the German part of the National Park 'Lower Oder Valley'.
